String::MFN A Perl module to 'Normalize' a string in the manner of the mfn utility.

String::MFN is a Perl module to 'Normalize' a string in the manner of the mfn utility.

SYNOPSIS

use String::MFN;

my $sane_string = mfn($retarded_string);
...

Normalizes a string. Normalization, in brief, means modifying the string to resemble a sane UNIX filename while retaining information carried by the original formatting.
Normalization, in specific, consists of characters other than [w-.+] being removed, lowercasing of all letters, separation of internaCaps, separation of leading numerals from trailing non-numerals, replacement of "bracketing" characters ({[()]}), replacement of ampersands, and collapsing (things that look like) repeating extentions.
