Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic - Regular Expressions Support for Amharic Language.

 #
 #  Overloading Perl REs:
 #
 use utf8;
 use Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic 'overload';

 :




 if ( /([=አ=])ለም[=ጸ=][=ሃ=]ይ/ ) {
   #
   # do something
   #
   :
 }

 :
 :

 #
 #  Without overloading:
 #
 use utf8;
 require Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic;

 my $string = "([=አ=])ለም[=ጸ=][=ሃ=]ይ/";
 my $re = Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic::getRe ( $re );

 s/abc($re)xyz/"abc".fixForm($1,6)."xyz"/eg;

The Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic module provides POSIX style character class definitions for working with the localized use of Ethiopic syllabary in the Amharic (am) language. The character classes provided by the Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic package correspond to properties of the script under Amharic orthography rules.

The Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic uses Regexp::Ethiopic so generally you would not need to import both. Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic conditionally exports the hashes %AmharicEquivalence and %AmharicClassEquivalence should you wish to use them. Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic can also export %EthiopiClass of Regexp::Ethiopic:

use Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic qw(%EthiopicClasses %AmharicEquivalence %AmharicClassEquivalence);

The Regexp::Ethiopic::Amharic package is NOT derived from the Regexp class and may not be instantiated into an object. See the files in the doc/ and examples/ directories that are included with this package.

Works perfectly with Perl 5.8.0, may work with Perl 5.6.x but has not yet been tested.

None presently known.
