This Moose::Role contains methods for implementing the method deep_clone using Data::Walk::Extracted. This method is used to deep clone (clone many/all) levels of a data ref. Deep cloning is accomplished by sending a 'donor_ref' that has data nodes that you want copied into a different memory location. In general Data::Walk::Extracted already deep clones any output as part of its data walking so the primary value of this role is to manage deep cloning boundaries. It may be that some portion of the data should maintain common memory references to the original memory references and so all of the Data::Walk::Extracted skip methods will be recognized and supported. Meaning that if a node is skipped the data reference will be copied directly rather than cloned. The deep clone boundaries are managed using the skip attributes in Data::Walk::Extracted.
This is a Moose::Role specifically designed to be used with Data::Walk::Extracted . It can be combined at run time with Moose::Util or MooseX::ShortCut::BuildInstance.
Data passed to ->new when creating an instance. For modification of these attributes see Methods. The ->new function will either accept fat comma lists or a complete hash ref that has the possible attributes as the top keys. Additionally some attributes that have all the following methods; get_$attribute, set_$attribute, has_$attribute, and clear_$attribute, can be passed to deep_clone and will be adjusted for just the run of that method call. These are called 'one shot' attributes. The class and each role (where applicable) in this package have a list of 'supported one shot attributes'.
Definition: There are times when the cloning needs to be turned off. This is the switch. If this is set to 0 then deep_clone just passes the doner ref back.
Default undefined = everything is cloned
Range Boolean values (0|1)
Data::Walk::Extracted Attributes
Definition: This takes a 'donor_ref' and deep clones it.
Accepts: either a single data reference or named arguments in a fat comma list or hashref
Hash option - if data comes in a fat comma list or as a hash ref and the keys include a 'donor_ref' key then the list is processed as such.
donor_ref - this is the data reference that should be deep cloned - required
[attribute name] - attribute names are accepted with temporary attribute settings. These settings are temporarily set for a single "deep_clone" call and then the original attribute values are restored. For this to work the the attribute must meet the necessary criteria.
single data reference option - if only one data_ref is sent and it fails the test;
exists $data_ref->{donor_ref}
then the program will attempt to name it as donor_ref => $data_ref and then clone the whole thing.
Returns: The deep cloned data reference
Definition: This will get the current value of the attribute should_clone
Accepts: nothing
Returns: a boolean value
Definition: This will set the attribute should_clone
Accepts: a boolean value
Returns: nothing
Definition: This will return true if the attribute should_clone is active
Definition: This will set the attribute should_clone to one ( 1 ). The name is awkward to accomodate one shot attribute changes.
