Sort::Maker: style => 'plain' difficulty Mumia W. (on aioe) 12-14-2006

I'm having trouble getting this program to work:

-----------code---------
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Sort::Maker qw(make_sorter sorter_source);

my $sorter = make_sorter (
style => 'plain',
string => '$_',
);

die($@) unless $sorter;

print sorter_source($sorter);
-----------end----------

The response is this:
----------output---------
make_sorter: Unknown option or key 'style'
----------end------------

I tried this in two different accounts. Sort::Maker was downloaded from
CPAN. Does this work for other people? Could my system be this totally
messed up?

I'm using Perl 5.8.4 and Sort::Maker 0.05 on Debian 3.1.

When I make the following change to Sort/Maker.pm, the program works:

----------------patch------------------
*** Maker.src Wed Dec 6 06:27:46 2006
--- Maker.pm Thu Dec 14 05:04:30 2006
***************
*** 72,77 ****
--- 72,78 ----
my @value_args = qw(
name
init_code
+ style
) ;

# all the attributes can be set with defaults
-----------------end-------------------

this is due to a doc bug more than a coding bug. the section on
selecting a style doesn't use the 'style' option. i originally thought i
would use that but dropped it. you just need 'plain' (or another style)
for the style value. and you must have seen another example (which i
found) which incorrectly uses 'style'. so i can either edit the text
(easy) and leave style out or i can add your fix and the tests for it
and the new docs for it. which should i do? hmmmm. easy edit or lots of
annoying detail work? tough choice! :)

I vote for changing the docs.

:-)

I changed them in my copy:

> my $sorter = make_sorter(
> 'ST',
> init_code => 'my( $str, $num ) ;',
> string => 'do{( $str, $num ) =
> $_->[0][0] =~ /^(\w+):(\d+)$/; $str}',
> number => '$num'
> ) ;
>

And I got rid of the option in @value_args.
