NAME Function::Fallback::CoreOrPP - Functions that use non-core XS module but provide pure-Perl/core fallback VERSION This document describes version 0.06 of Function::Fallback::CoreOrPP (from Perl distribution Function-Fallback-CoreOrPP), released on 2014-09-16. SYNOPSIS use Function::Fallback::CoreOrPP qw(clone unbless uniq); my $clone = clone({blah=>1}); my $unblessed = unbless($blessed_ref); my @uniq = uniq(1, 3, 2, 1, 4); # -> (1, 3, 2, 4) DESCRIPTION This module provides functions that use non-core XS modules (for best speed, reliability, feature, etc) but falls back to those that use core XS or pure-Perl modules when the non-core XS module is not available. This module helps when you want to bootstrap your Perl application with a portable, dependency-free Perl script. In a vanilla Perl installation (having only core modules), you can use App::FatPacker to include non-core pure-Perl dependencies to your script. FUNCTIONS clone($data) => $cloned Try to use Data::Clone's "clone", but fall back to using Clone::PP's "clone". unbless($ref) => $unblessed_ref Try to use Acme::Damn's "damn" to unbless a reference but fall back to shallow copying. NOTE: "damn()" MODIFIES the original reference. (XXX in the future an option to clone the reference first will be provided), while shallow copying will return a shallow copy. NOTE: The shallow copy method currently only handles blessed {scalar,array,hash}ref as those are the most common. uniq(@ary) => @uniq_ary Try to use List::MoreUtils's "uniq", but fall back to using slower, pure-Perl implementation. SEE ALSO Clone::Any can also uses multiple backends, but I avoid it because I don't think Storable's "dclone" should be used (no Regexp support out of the box + must use deparse to handle coderefs).
