Acme::StringFormat - Smart interface to sprintf()

This document describes Acme::StringFormat version 0.04

    use Acme::StringFormat;

    # enable 'sprintf' operator in the scope

    say '[%s][%s]' % 'foo' % 'bar'; # => [foo][bar]

I had a desire for a "format operator" of other languages. Take boost C++ libraly for example:

	using namespace boost;
	std::cout << format("[%1%][%2]") % "foo" % "bar" << std::endl;

Now this pragmatic module provides Perl with a format operator %, which is equivalent to sprintf.

Enables the sprintf operator in the rest of the scope;

Disables the sprintf operator in the rest of the scope;

Arguments mismatch for Acme::StringFormat

(W printf) Too few format parameters or too many format arguments.

Acme::StringFormat requires no configuration files or environment variables.

Perl 5.10.0 or later, and a C compiler.

No bugs have been reported.
