Quoted(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Quoted(3)NAMEText::Quoted - Extract the structure of a quoted mail message
SYNOPSIS
use Text::Quoted;
my $structure = extract($text);
DESCRIPTION
"Text::Quoted" examines the structure of some text which may contain
multiple different levels of quoting, and turns the text into a nested
data structure.
The structure is an array reference containing hash references for each
paragraph belonging to the same author. Each level of quoting
recursively adds another list reference. So for instance, this:
> foo
> # Bar
> baz
quux
turns into:
[
[
{ text => 'foo', quoter => '>', raw => '> foo' },
[
{ text => 'Bar', quoter => '> #', raw => '> # Bar' }
],
{ text => 'baz', quoter => '>', raw => '> baz' }
],
{ empty => 1 },
{ text => 'quux', quoter => '', raw => 'quux' }
];
This also tells you about what's in the hash references: "raw" is the
paragraph of text as it appeared in the original input; "text" is what
it looked like when we stripped off the quotation characters, and
"quoter" is the quotation string.
CREDITS
Most of the heavy lifting is done by a modified version of Damian
Conway's "Text::Autoformat".
