Data::Object::Autobox

ABSTRACT

Data-Object Autoboxing

SYNOPSIS

use Data::Object::Autobox;

my $input  = [1,1,1,1,3,3,2,1,5,6,7,8,9];
my $output = $input->grep(sub{$_[0] < 5})->unique->sort; # [1,2,3]
my $object = $output->array;

$output->join(',')->print; # 1,2,3
$object->join(',')->print; # 1,2,3

$object->isa('Data::Object::Array');

DESCRIPTION

This package implements autoboxing via autobox to provide boxing for native Perl 5 data types. This functionality is provided by Data::Object which provides a collection of object classes for handling SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH, CODE, INTEGER, FLOAT, NUMBER, STRING, UNDEF, and other data type operations.

Data::Object provides its own boxing strategy in that every method call which would normally return a native data type will return a data type object, but this functionality requires an initial data type object. Data::Object::Autobox makes it so that you do not need to explicitly create the initial data type object, and once the initial autobox method call is made, the Data::Object boxing takes over.
