Parse::RPN - Is a minimalist RPN parser/processor (a little like FORTH) $Revision: 47 $
use Parse::RPN; $result=rpn(string ...); @results=rpn(string ...); $error=rpn_error(); string... is a list of RPN operator and value separated by a coma in scalar mode RPN return the result of the calculation (If the stack contain more then one element, you receive a warning and the top value on the stack) in array mode, you receive the content of the stack after evaluation
rpn() receive in entry a scalar of one or more elements coma separated and evaluate as an RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) command. The function split all elements and put in the stack. The operator are case sensitive. The operator are detect as is, if they are alone in the element of the stack. Extra space before or after are allowed (e.g "3,4,ADD" here ADD is an opeartor but it is not the case in "3,4,ADD 1") If element is not part of the predefined operator (dictionary), the element is push as a litteral. If you would like to put a string which is part of the dictionary, put it between quote or double-quote (e.g "3,4,'ADD'" here ADD is a literal and the evaluation reurn ADD and a warning because the stack is not empty) If the string contain a coma, you need also to quote or double-quote the string. (be care to close your quoted or double-quoted string) The evaluation follow the rule of RPN or FORTH or POSTCRIPT or pockect calcutor HP. Look on web for documentation about the use of RPN notation. I use this module in a application where the final user need to create an maintain a configuration file with the possibility to do calculation on variable returned from application. The idea of this module is comming from Math::RPN of Owen DeLong, owen@delong.com that I used for more then a year before some of my customer would like more ... I correct a bug (interversion of > and >=), add the STRING function, pattern search and some STACK functions. rpn_error() return the last error from the evaluation (illegal division by 0, error from the PERL function execution...) each time that rpn() is call the rpn_error() is reinitianised.

This allow rational or negative value
The iterator variable is the second value on the stack (start argument)
. =head2 rpn_error()
function which return the debug info from the calculation (like a division by 0)
function to set a specific separator for the returned stack (default = space)
This is useful when the result of rpn() is use inside another rpn() call
The operators get value from the stack and push the result on top
In the following explanation, the stack is represented as a pair of brackets ()
and each elements by a pair of square barcket []
The left part is the state before evalutation
and the right part is the state of the stack after evaluation

'a' and 'b' in absolute value
if 'a' > 'b' keep the reverse of selection (boustrophedon)
@ ([a]) ([a]) return the value of the variable [a]
: xxx yyy ; create a new word (sub) into the dictionary with the xxx "code" and name yyy
: xxx yyy PERLFUNC execute the PERL function yyy with parameter(s) yyy
the default name space is "main::"
It is possible tu use a specific name space
: xxx yyy PERL execute the PERL code xxx ; yyy
Return Stack operators
----------------------
>R ([a]) put ^a$ on the return stack
R> () remove first element from the return stack and copy on the normal
RL () return the depth of the return stack
R@ () copy return stack ion normal stack
LOOP and DECISION operators
---------------------------
[a] IF [..xxx] THEN Test the element on top of stack
if ==0, execute 'xxx' block
The loop is executed always one time
[a] IF [...zzz...] ELSE [..xxx...] THEN Test the element on top of stack
if ==0, execute 'xxx' block
if != 0 execute 'zzz' block
The loop is executed always one time
BEGIN xxx WHILE zzz REPEAT Execute 'xxx' block
Test the element on top of stack
if ==0 execute 'zzz' block and branch again to BEGIN
if != 0 end the loop
The loop is executed always one time
[a] [b] DO [...xxx...] LOOP ([a][b]) process block [...xxx...] with iterator from value [b] untill [a] value,
with increment of 1;
The iterator variable is '_I_' (read only and scoop only the DO ... LOOP block)
[a] [b] DO [...xxx...] [c] +LOOP ([a][b]) process block [...xxx...] with iterator from value [b] untill [a] value,
with increment of [c];
The iterator variable is '_I_' (read only and scoop only the DO ... LOOP block)

The small tool 'RPN.pl' provide an easy interface to test quickly an RPN.
This include two test functions named 'save' and 'restore'
Try RPN.pl to get a minimal help.
Take a look to the minimalistic code, and put RPN.pl in your path.
Sample of use:
RPN.pl -r '1,2,3,:,123,100,+,7,*,test,save,PERLFUNC'
save in file '/tmp/test' the value '1561' (whithout CR/LF) and return 1 2 3 1

It is a full rewrite from the version 1.xx to allow DICTIONNARY use
and STRUCTURE control
Thanks to the module Math::RPN from Owen DeLong, <owen@delong.com>
for the idea of using RPN in a config file
Math-RPN from Owen DeLong, <owen@delong.com>
Error processing, stack underflow...
Thank's to Stefan Moser <sm@open.ch> for the idea
to call a perl function from the rpn() and also for pin-pointing an error in stack return.
