=head1 NAME

Text::Tabs -- expand and unexpand tabs per the unix expand(1) and unexpand(1)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Text::Tabs;

  $tabstop = 4;  # default = 8
  @lines_without_tabs = expand(@lines_with_tabs);
  @lines_with_tabs = unexpand(@lines_without_tabs);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Text::Tabs does about what the unix utilities expand(1) and unexpand(1) 
do.  Given a line with tabs in it, expand will replace the tabs with
the appropriate number of spaces.  Given a line with or without tabs in
it, unexpand will add tabs when it can save bytes by doing so (just
like C<unexpand -a>).  Invisible compression with plain ASCII! 

=head1 EXAMPLE

  #!perl
  # unexpand -a
  use Text::Tabs;

  while (<>) {
    print unexpand $_;
  }

Instead of the C<expand> comand, use:

  perl -MText::Tabs -n -e 'print expand $_'

Instead of the C<unexpand -a> command, use:

  perl -MText::Tabs -n -e 'print unexpand $_'
