Revision history for Text-Redact-Secrets

Unreleased

    The first release: find secrets in text by gitleaks' rules, and
    redact them.

    redact puts *REDACTED* in place of each secret it finds in a
    string, and find reports each, with the rule that found it and
    where. The rules are gitleaks', from its v8.30.1, run as gitleaks
    runs them on a string: keywords first, then each rule's regex, the
    secret picked out of what it matched, and its entropy and
    allowlists checked. Beside them is a rule of the module's own,
    url-userinfo-password, for a password in a URL, such as
    postgres://user:password@host/db, which gitleaks has no rule for.
    A dump of a few hundred rows takes about 10 ms. It needs nothing
    beyond core Perl, from 5.36.

    It ships roadmap 2026-0001.
