Data::Perl - Base classes wrapping fundamental Perl data types.
version 0.001000
use Data::Perl; my $array = array(1,2,3, qw/a b c/); $array->count; # 6 my @elements = $array->grep(sub {/b/}); # (b) my $hash = hash(a => 1, b => 2); $hash->keys; # ('a', 'b'); my $number = number(5); $number->add(10); # 15 my $string = string("foo\n"); $string->chomp; # return 1, chomps string my $counter = counter(); $counter->inc; # counter is now 1 my $sub = code(sub { 'foo' }); $sub->execute; # returns 'foo' $foo
Data::Perl is a collection of classes that wrap fundamental data types that exist in Perl. These classes and methods as they exist today are an attempt to mirror functionality provided by Moose's Native Traits. One important thing to note is all classes currently do no validation on constructor input. b<This may change in the future>.
Data::Perl is a container class for the following classes:
Data::Perl::Collection::Hash
Data::Perl::Collection::Array
Data::Perl::String
Data::Perl::Number
Data::Perl::Counter
Data::Perl::Bool
Data::Perl::Code
Data::Perl exports helper constructor functions to interface with the above classes:
hash(key, value, ...)
Returns a Data::Perl::Collection::Hash object initialized with the optionally passed in key/value args.
array(@args)
Returns a Data::Perl::Collection::Array object initialized with the optionally passed in values.
string($arg)
Returns a Data::Perl::String object initialized with the optionally passed in scalar arg.
number($arg)
Returns a Data::Perl::Number object initialized with the optionally passed in scalar arg.
counter($arg)
Returns a Data::Perl::Counter object initialized with the optionally passed in scalar arg.
bool($arg)
Returns a Data::Perl::Bool object initialized with the truth value of the passed in scalar arg.
code($arg)
Returns a Data::Perl::Code object initialized with the optionally passed in scalar coderef as an arg.
Much thanks to the Moose team for their work with native traits, for which much of this work is based.
