NAME
    Acme::StringFormat - Smart interface to sprintf()

VERSION
    This document describes Acme::StringFormat version 0.04

SYNOPSIS
        use Acme::StringFormat;

        # enable 'sprintf' operator in the scope

        say '[%s][%s]' % 'foo' % 'bar'; # => [foo][bar]

DESCRIPTION
    I had a desire for a "format operator" of other languages. Take boost
    C++ libraly for example:

            using namespace boost;
            std::cout << format("[%1%][%2]") % "foo" % "bar" << std::endl;

    Now this pragmatic module provides Perl with a format operator "%",
    which is equivalent to "sprintf".

INTERFACE
  "use Acme::StringFormat;"
    Enables the "sprintf" operator in the rest of the scope;

  "no Acme::StringFormat;"
    Disables the "sprintf" operator in the rest of the scope;

DIAGNOSTICS
    "Arguments mismatch for Acme::StringFormat"
        (W printf) Too few format parameters or too many format arguments.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
    Acme::StringFormat requires no configuration files or environment
    variables.

DEPENDENCIES
    Perl 5.10.0 or later, and a C compiler.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
    No bugs have been reported.
