Filter::Simple - Simplified source filtering Source filtering is an immensely powerful feature of recent versions of Perl. It allows one to extend the language itself (e.g. the Switch module), to simplify the language (e.g. Language::Pythonesque), or to completely recast the language (e.g. Lingua::Romana::Perligata). Effec- tively, it allows one to use the full power of Perl as its own, recur- sively applied, macro language.
