Imager::Search::Pattern - Search object for an image

  my $pattern = Imager::Search::Pattern->new(
          driver => 'Imager::Search::Driver::HTML24',
          image  => $Imager,
  );

  my $regexp = $pattern->regexp;

Imager::Search::Pattern takes an Imager object, and converts it into a partially-compiled regular expression.

This partial regexp can then be quickly turned into the final Regexp once the widget of the target image is known, as well as being able to be cached.

This allows a single Imager::Search::Pattern object to be quickly applied to many different sizes of target images.

  $pattern = Imager::Search::Pattern->new(
      driver => 'Imager::Search::Driver::HTML24',
      file   => 'search/image.gif',
      cache  => 1,
  );

See the SUPPORT section of the main Imager::Search module.
