NAME
    List::ToHumanString - write lists in strings like a human would

SYNOPSIS
        use List::ToHumanString;
    
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", to_human_string qw/March May June August/;
        ## prints: Report(s) for March, May, June, and August.
    
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", to_human_string qw/March May/;
        ## prints: Report(s) for March and May.
    
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", to_human_string qw/March/;
        ## prints: Report(s) for March.

    
        # Exact same thing, but with less typing, by exporting humanize or even h
        use List::ToHumanString qw/h humanize/;
    
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", humanize qw/March May June August/;
        ## prints: Report(s) for March, May, June, and August.
    
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", h qw/March May/;
        ## prints: Report(s) for March and May.
    
    
        # You can also use a simple ref-deref trick to interpolate the
        # results inside the strings:
        my $output = "Report(s) for ${\ to_human_string @items }.\n";

EXPORTS BY DEFAULT
  "to_human_string"
        use List::ToHumanString;
    
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", to_human_string qw/March May June August/;
        ## prints: Report(s) for March, May, June, and August.

    Exported by default. Takes a list of items as an argument. REMOVES ALL
    UNDEFS, then returns a string. The string format will be as follows
    (number of arguments below is the number of arguments AFTER all undefs
    have been removed):

   empty list as argument
        to_human_string();
        # returns ''

    Returns empty string.

   1-item list as argument
        to_human_string('foo');
        # returns 'foo'
    
        to_human_string( URI->new("http://example.com") );
        # returns 'http://example.com'

    Returns the argument (stringified).

   2-item list as argument
        to_human_string('foo', 'bar');
        # returns 'foo and bar'

    Returns the two arguments joined with ' and '

   list with 3 or more items as argument
        to_human_string('foo', 'bar', 'ber', 'baz');
        # returns 'foo, bar, ber, and baz'
    
        $List::ToHumanString::Extra_Comma = 0;
        to_human_string('foo', 'bar', 'ber', 'baz');
        # returns 'foo, bar, ber and baz'

    Returns a string with arguments joined with ', ' (comma and space). The
    last element is also preceeded by word 'and '. Note: depending on your
    stylistic preference, you might wish not to have a comma before the last
    element. You can accomplish that by setting
    $List::ToHumanString::Extra_Comma to zero.

OPTIONAL EXPORTS
        use List::ToHumanString qw/h humanize/;
    
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", humanize qw/March May June August/;
        ## prints: Report(s) for March, May, June, and August.
    
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", h qw/March May/;
        ## prints: Report(s) for March and May.

  "humanize"
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", humanize qw/March May June August/;

    You can optionally import "humanize()" and use it instead of
    "to_human_string()", to save on typing.

  "h"
        printf "Report(s) for %s.\n", h qw/March May June August/;

    You can optionally import "h()" and use it instead of
    "to_human_string()", to save on typing.
