NAME

more - use more of a resource

VERSION

version 0.204

SYNOPSIS

use more 'variables';

DESCRIPTION

As of perl5 version 10, the long-useless pragma less became a usable tool for indicating that less something could be used. For example, the user could specify that less memory should be used, and other libraries could then choose between multiple algorithms based on that choice.

In the user's program:

use less 'memory';

my $result = Analyzer->analyze( $large_data_set );

In the library:

sub analyze {
  my ($self, $data) = @_;

  my $cache  = less->of('memory') ? 'disk' : 'ram';
  my $method = "analyze_with_${cache}_cache";

  return $self->$method($data);
}

This allowed for an explosion of highly adaptive implementions, accounting for a complex matrix of "less" interactions. Unfortunately, there is no mechanism for requesting that more of something be used, to help do our part as good consumers. The often-heard advice to simply write no less 'spending' is insufficient. That only means we should maintain our current levels. We want to request an increase.

This library corrects this deficiency by allowing the user to write:

use more 'spending';

PERL VERSION

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
