SYNOPSIS

        use Data::Object 'deduce';
    
        my $object = deduce [1..9];
    
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Array'); # 1
        $object->count; # 9

DESCRIPTION

    Data::Object provides functions for promoting Perl 5 native data types
    to objects which provide common methods for operating on the data.
    Note: This is an early release available for testing and feedback and
    as such is subject to change.

        # given [2..5];
    
        $object = data_array [2..5];
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Array');

    The data_array function returns a Data::Object::Array instance which
    wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on
    the data. The type_array function is an alias to this function.

        # given sub { 1 };
    
        $object = data_code sub { 1 };
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Code');

    The data_code function returns a Data::Object::Code instance which
    wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on
    the data. The type_code function is an alias to this function.

        # given 5.25;
    
        $object = data_float 5.25;
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Float');

    The data_float function returns a Data::Object::Float instance which
    wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on
    the data. The type_float function is an alias to this function.

        # given {1..4};
    
        $object = data_hash {1..4};
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Hash');

    The data_hash function returns a Data::Object::Hash instance which
    wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on
    the data. The type_hash function is an alias to this function.

        # given -100;
    
        $object = data_integer -100;
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Integer');

    The data_integer function returns a Data::Object::Object instance which
    wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on
    the data. The type_integer function is an alias to this function.

        # given 100;
    
        $object = data_number 100;
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Number');

    The data_number function returns a Data::Object::Number instance which
    wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on
    the data. The type_number function is an alias to this function.

        # given qr/\w+/;
    
        $object = data_scalar qr/\w+/;
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Scalar');

    The data_scalar function returns a Data::Object::Scalar instance which
    wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on
    the data. The type_scalar function is an alias to this function.

        # given 'abcdefghi';
    
        $object = data_string 'abcdefghi';
        $object->isa('Data::Object::String');

    The data_string function returns a Data::Object::String instance which
    wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on
    the data. The type_string function is an alias to this function.

        # given undef;
    
        $object = data_undef undef;
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Undef');

    The data_undef function returns a Data::Object::Undef instance which
    wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform operations on
    the data. The type_undef function is an alias to this function.

        # given 0;
    
        $object = data_universal 0;
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Universal');

    The data_universal function returns a Data::Object::Universal instance
    which wraps the provided data type and can be used to perform
    operations on the data. The type_universal function is an alias to this
    function.

        # given 'List::Util';
    
        $package = load 'List::Util'; # List::Util if loaded

    The load function attempts to dynamically load a module and either dies
    or returns the package name of the loaded module.

        # given qr/\w+/;
    
        $object = deduce qr/\w+/;
        $object->isa('Data::Object::Scalar');

    The deduce function returns a data type object instance based upon the
    deduced type of data provided.

        # given {1,2,3,{4,5,6,[-1]}}
    
        $deep = deduce_deep {1,2,3,{4,5,6,[-1]}}; # produces ...
    
        # Data::Object::Hash {
        #     1 => Data::Object::Number ( 2 ),
        #     3 => Data::Object::Hash {
        #          4 => Data::Object::Number ( 5 ),
        #          6 => Data::Object::Array [ Data::Object::Integer ( -1 ) ],
        #     },
        # }

    The deduce_deep function returns a data type object. If the data
    provided is complex, this function traverses the data converting all
    nested data to objects. Note: Blessed objects are not traversed.

        # given qr/\w+/;
    
        $type = deduce_type qr/\w+/; # SCALAR

    The deduce_type function returns a data type description for the type
    of data provided, represented as a string in capital letters.

        # given bless({1..4}, 'Data::Object::Hash');
    
        $object = detract $object; # {1..4}

    The detract function returns a value of native type, based upon the
    underlying reference of the data type object provided.

        # given {1,2,3,{4,5,6,[-1, 99, bless({}), sub { 123 }]}};
    
        my $object = deduce_deep $object;
        my $revert = detract_deep $object; # produces ...
    
        # {
        #     '1' => 2,
        #     '3' => {
        #         '4' => 5,
        #         '6' => [ -1, 99, bless({}, 'main'), sub { ... } ]
        #       }
        # }

    The detract_deep function returns a value of native type. If the data
    provided is complex, this function traverses the data converting all
    nested data type objects into native values using the objects
    underlying reference. Note: Blessed objects are not traversed.
