NAME

6       "Syntax::Operator::Divides" - an infix operator for division test
7

SYNOPSIS

9       On a suitably-patched perl:
10
11          use Syntax::Operator::Divides;
12
13          say "Multiple of 10" if $x %% 10;
14
15       Or, on a standard perl via Syntax::Keyword::Match:
16
17          use v5.14;
18          use Syntax::Keyword::Match;
19          use Syntax::Operator::Divides;
20
21          foreach ( 1 .. 100 ) {
22             match( $_ : %% ) {
23                case(15) { say "FizzBuzz" }
24                case(3)  { say "Fizz" }
25                case(5)  { say "Buzz" }
26                default  { say $_ }
27             }
28          }

DESCRIPTION

31       This module provides an infix operator that implements an integer
32       divides test which returns true if the lefthand operand is a whole
33       multiple of the righthand.
34
35       Current versions of perl do not directly support custom infix
36       operators. The documentation of XS::Parse::Infix describes the
37       situation, with reference to a branch experimenting with this new
38       feature. This module is therefore almost entirely useless on standard
39       perl builds. While the regular parser does not support custom infix
40       operators, they are supported via "XS::Parse::Infix" and hence
41       XS::Parse::Keyword, and so custom keywords which attempt to parse
42       operator syntax may be able to use it. One such module is
43       Syntax::Keyword::Match; see the SYNOPSIS example given above.
44

OPERATORS

46   %%
47          my $divides = $numerator %% $denominator;
48
49       Yields true if the numerator operand is a whole integer multiple of the
50       denominator. This is implemented by using the "%" modulus operator and
51       testing if the remainder is zero.
