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: C is the paragraph of text as it appeared in the original input; C is what it looked like when we stripped off the quotation characters, and C is the quotation string. =cut sub extract { return organize( "", map +{ raw => $_->{'raw'}, empty => $_->{'empty'}, text => $_->{'text'}, quoter => $_->{'quoter'}, }, classify( @_ ) ); } =head1 CREDITS Most of the heavy lifting is done by a modified version of Damian Conway's C. =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2002-2003 Kasei Limited Copyright (C) 2003-2004 Simon Cozens Copyright (C) 2004 Best Practical Solutions, LLC This software is distributed WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
