Acme::Util version 0.10 ======================= Acme::Util - Frequently Hacked Functions Acme::Util is a cookbook of tasty functions for the terminally lazy, impatient and hubristic. It features XS versions of such FAQ-fare as clone() and isnum() (including isint(), isfloat() &c), as well as pure perl implementations of timewasters such as swap(), trim(), readfile(), writefile() and appendfile(). Throughout, the emphasis is on best practices and high performance. See the POD for more info. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module has the following dependencies: Test::More Test::Deep Math::Complex In addition, due to limited support for weak references in older versions, clone() only copies these correctly with Perl(s) >= 5.8.0 The numerical functions (isnum() and its offspring) along with some of the tests thereof have proved unreliable on pre-5.8.0 perls as well.
