Change some URLs from author dirs to dist dirs. The example in the porter's handbook didn't have the trailing slash; mea culpa for not having caught that when it went in.

A simple string tokenizer which takes a string and splits it on
|
|
whitespace. It also optionally takes a string of characters to use as
|
|
delimiters, and returns them with the token set as well. This allows for
|
|
splitting the string in many different ways.
|
|
|
|
This is a very basic tokenizer, so more complex needs should be either
|
|
addressed with a custom written tokenizer or post-processing of the output
|
|
generated by this module. Basically, this will not fill everyones needs,
|
|
but it spans a gap between simple split / /, $string and the other options
|
|
that involve much larger and complex modules.
|
|
|
|
Also note that this is not a lexical analyser. Many people confuse
|
|
tokenization with lexical analysis. A tokenizer mearly splits its input
|
|
into specific chunks, a lexical analyzer classifies those chunks.
|
|
Sometimes these two steps are combined, but not here.
