Sometimes you need to parse a Unix shell command-line string, e.g. when you want
to break it into "words".

In general I recommend <pm:Text::ParseWords> as it is a core module. If you want
a little more speed, try <pm:Parse::CommandLine::Regexp> (see reference to
benchmark in See Also).

Its `parse_cmdline()` function can break a command-line string into words. This
function is geared for tab completion, so by default it also breaks on some
other word-breaking characters like "=", "@", and so on. Probably not what you
want generally, unless you are working with tab completion.

This core module can split string into words with customizable quoting character
and support for escaping using backslash. Its `shellwords()` function is
suitable for breaking command-line string into words.

=head1 FAQ

=head2 What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module
names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and
document CPAN. See L<Acme::CPANModules> for more details.

=head2 What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?

Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can
install all the listed modules (entries) using L<cpanm-cpanmodules> script (from
L<App::cpanm::cpanmodules> distribution):

 % cpanm-cpanmodules -n Parse::UnixShellCommandLine

Alternatively you can use the L<cpanmodules> CLI (from L<App::cpanmodules>
distribution):

    % cpanmodules ls-entries Parse::UnixShellCommandLine | cpanm -n

or L<Acme::CM::Get>:

    % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=Parse::UnixShellCommandLine -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
