autobox version 2.42 ==================== The autobox pragma allows methods to be called on primitive Perl values (numbers, strings, arrays, hashes and unblessed references) in exactly the same manner as blessed references. The autoboxing is transparent: boxed values are not blessed into their (user-defined) implementation class (unless the method elects to bestow such a blessing) - they simply use its methods as though they are. autobox is lexically scoped, and bindings for an outer scope can be overridden or countermanded in a nested scope. See the POD for more details.
