=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module has two interfaces, one through color() and colored() and the
-other through constants.
+other through constants. It also offers the utility function uncolor(),
+which has to be explicitly imported to be used (see L<SYNOPSYS>).
color() takes any number of strings as arguments and considers them to be
space-separated lists of attributes. It then forms and returns the escape
-sequence to set those attributes. It doesn't print it out, just returns
-it, so you'll have to print it yourself if you want to (this is so that
-you can save it as a string, pass it to something else, send it to a file
-handle, or do anything else with it that you might care to).
+sequence to set those attributes. It doesn't print it out, just returns it,
+so you'll have to print it yourself if you want to (this is so that you can
+save it as a string, pass it to something else, send it to a file handle, or
+do anything else with it that you might care to).
+
+uncolor() performs the opposite translation, turning escape sequences
+into a list of strings.
The recognized attributes (all of which should be fairly intuitive) are
-clear, reset, dark, bold, underline, underscore, blink, reverse,
-concealed, black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, on_black, on_red,
-on_green, on_yellow, on_blue, on_magenta, on_cyan, and on_white. Case is
-not significant. Underline and underscore are equivalent, as are clear
-and reset, so use whichever is the most intuitive to you. The color alone
-sets the foreground color, and on_color sets the background color.

+black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, on_black, on_red, on_green,
+on_yellow, on_blue, on_magenta, on_cyan, and on_white. Case is not
+significant. Underline and underscore are equivalent, as are clear and
+reset, so use whichever is the most intuitive to you. The color alone sets
+the foreground color, and on_color sets the background color.
Note that not all attributes are supported by all terminal types, and some
terminals may not support any of these sequences. Dark, blink, and
after your script is done running, and people get very annoyed at having
their prompt and typing changed to weird colors.
-As an aid to help with this, colored() takes a scalar as the first
-argument and any number of attribute strings as the second argument and
-returns the scalar wrapped in escape codes so that the attributes will be
-set as requested before the string and reset to normal after the string.
-Alternately, you can pass a reference to an array as the first argument,
-and then the contents of that array will be taken as attributes and color
-codes and the remainder of the arguments as text to colorize.

Normally, colored() just puts attribute codes at the beginning and end of
-the string, but if you set $Term::ANSIColor::EACHLINE to some string,
-that string will be considered the line delimiter and the attribute will
-be set at the beginning of each line of the passed string and reset at the
-end of each line. This is often desirable if the output is being sent to
-a program like a pager that can be confused by attributes that span lines.
-Normally you'll want to set $Term::ANSIColor::EACHLINE to C<"\n"> to use

Alternately, if you import C<:constants>, you can use the constants CLEAR,
-RESET, BOLD, DARK, UNDERLINE, UNDERSCORE, BLINK, REVERSE, CONCEALED,
-BLACK, RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, MAGENTA, ON_BLACK, ON_RED, ON_GREEN,
-ON_YELLOW, ON_BLUE, ON_MAGENTA, ON_CYAN, and ON_WHITE directly. These are
-the same as color('attribute') and can be used if you prefer typing:
+RESET, BOLD, DARK, UNDERLINE, UNDERSCORE, BLINK, REVERSE, CONCEALED, BLACK,
+RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, MAGENTA, ON_BLACK, ON_RED, ON_GREEN, ON_YELLOW,

+color('attribute') and can be used if you prefer typing:
print BOLD BLUE ON_WHITE "Text\n", RESET;
twenty-two in the constants interface. On the flip side, the constants
interface has the advantage of better compile time error checking, since
misspelled names of colors or attributes in calls to color() and colored()
-won't be caught until runtime whereas misspelled names of constants will
-be caught at compile time. So, polute your namespace with almost two
-dozen subroutines that you may not even use that often, or risk a silly
-bug by mistyping an attribute. Your choice, TMTOWTDI after all.

=head1 NOTES
+The codes generated by this module are standard terminal control codes,
+complying with ECMA-48 and ISO 6429 (generally referred to as "ANSI color"
+for the color codes). The non-color control codes (bold, dark, italic,
+underline, and reverse) are part of the earlier ANSI X3.64 standard for
+control sequences for video terminals and peripherals.
+
+Note that not all displays are ISO 6429-compliant, or even X3.64-compliant
+(or are even attempting to be so). This module will not work as expected on
+displays that do not honor these escape sequences, such as (reportedly) the
+"console" in at least some versions of Windows. They may just be ignored,
+or they may display as an ESC character followed by some apparent garbage.
+
Jean Delvare provided the following table of different common terminal
emulators and their support for the various attributes:
aixterm kinda normal no yes no yes yes
Where the entry is other than yes or no, that emulator interpret the given
-attribute as something else instead. Note that on an aixterm, clear
-doesn't reset colors; you have to explicitly set the colors back to what
-you want. More entries in this table are welcome.
+attribute as something else instead. Note that on an aixterm, clear doesn't
+reset colors; you have to explicitly set the colors back to what you want.
+More entries in this table are welcome.
+
+Note that codes 3 (italic), 6 (rapid blink), and 9 (strikethrough) are
+specified in ANSI X3.64 and ECMA-048 but are not commonly supported by most
+displays and emulators and therefore aren't supported by this module at the
+present time. ECMA-048 also specifies a large number of other attributes,
+including a sequence of attributes for font changes, Fraktur characters,
+double-underlining, framing, circling, and overlining. As none of these
+attributes are widely supported or useful, they also aren't currently
+supported by this module.
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+ECMA-048 is available on-line (at least at the time of this writing) at
+E<lt>http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/STAND/ECMA-048.HTME<gt>.
+
+ISO 6429 is available from ISO for a charge; the author of this module does
+not own a copy of it. Since the source material for ISO 6429 was ECMA-048
+and the latter is available for free, there seems little reason to obtain
+the ISO standard.

+ * ANSIColor.pm (color): Carp::croak() isn't predeclared, so it
+ needs parens around its argument. This bug will only show up in
+ versions of Perl >5.004_04 since up until then strict.pm imports
+ Carp which predeclares the function.

+
+ * ANSIColor.pm: Version 1.00 released.
+
+ * Makefile.PL: Now gets version information from the module, has
+ the correct rules to build a distribution.
+
+ * test.pl: Comments trimmed, minor test modifications.
+
+ * ANSIColor.pm: Changed my e-mail address, fixed to deal correctly
+ with trailing delimiters when EACHLINE is being used, die()
+ changed to croak() if the caller uses an invalid attribute name,
+ getting $VERSION from RCS updated to my current method, source
+ detabified.
+
+ * test.pl: Added test for EACHLINE with trailing delimiters.
+
+1997-02-17 Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>
+
+ * ANSIColor.pm: Version 0.9 released.
+
+ * ANSIColor.pm: Changed the runtime error message to start with an
+ uppercase letter, reworked the documentation considerably
+ including adding more comparison between the two interfaces,

+ diagnostics, and generally being more verbose.
+

+
+ * test.pl: New file.
+
+ * ANSIColor.pm: [Revision 0.7] Changed the codes so that reset is
+ always consistantly "\e[0m".

+ colored() for it so that attributes can be reset around every
+ newline (or other line delimiter -- we're flexible). Documented
+ this as well.
+
+ * ANSIColor.pm: [Revision 0.5] Changed implementation of the
+ constants to autoloaded subs, added the $AUTORESET variable for
+ use with the constants, and documented this.
