.\" For nroff, turn off justification.  Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
.\" way too many mistakes in technical documents.

.SH "NAME"
String::Unquotemeta \- undo what quotemeta() does, nothing more nothing less
.SH "VERSION"
.IX Header "VERSION"
This document describes String::Unquotemeta version 0.1
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\&    use String::Unquotemeta;
\&    
\&    my $japh = \*(AqJ.A.P.H.\*(Aq;
\&    my $meta = quotemeta($japh); # J\e.A\e.P\e.H\e.
\&    my $undo = unquotemeta($meta); # J.A.P.H.
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides one simple function, \fIunquotemeta()\fR, that undoes the escaping that \fIquotemeta()\fR does.
.PP
It handles undefined values, no values, too many values, etc the same way as \fIquotemeta()\fR. Think of it as \fIquotemeta()\fR's evil twin.
.PP
\&\fIunquotemeta()\fR is exported into the calling name space unless you bring in the module without it's \fIimport()\fR method being called:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    use String::Unquotemeta (); # do not call import() == do not pollute my name space
\&    my $undone = String::Unquotemeta::unquotemeta($string);  
\&
\&    require String::Unquotemeta; # do not call import() == do not pollute my name space
\&    my $undone = String::Unquotemeta::unquotemeta($string);
.Ve
.SH "INTERFACE"
.IX Header "INTERFACE"
.SS "\fIunquotemeta()\fP"
.IX Subsection "unquotemeta()"
Takes one argument, the string to undo what \fIquotemeta()\fR did.
.PP
If no argument is given, then it uses \f(CW$_\fR (like \fIquotemeta()\fR).
.PP
If an undefined argument is given, it returns '' (like \fIquotemeta()\fR).
.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
.IX Header "DIAGNOSTICS"
Throws no warnings or errors of it's own.
.SH "CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT"
.IX Header "CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT"
String::Unquotemeta requires no configuration files or environment variables.
.SH "DEPENDENCIES"
.IX Header "DEPENDENCIES"
None.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
String::Escape has an \fIunquotemeta()\fR function also. If you need all of the other utilities and exporting it provides feel free to use it instead.
.SH "INCOMPATIBILITIES"
.IX Header "INCOMPATIBILITIES"
None reported.
.SH "BUGS AND LIMITATIONS"
.IX Header "BUGS AND LIMITATIONS"
No bugs have been reported.
