NAME

Pluto - Functional Programming

ABSTRACT

Functional Scripting for Perl 5

SYNOPSIS

package Cosmos;

use Pluto;

call(string('hello world'), 'titlecase');

# Hello World

DESCRIPTION

This package enables functional programming for Perl 5 via indirect routine dispatching and dependency injection, operating in a way that plays nicely with third-party libraries without having to switch over to object-oriented programming.

WHY

Perl is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports functional programming, but, Perl has an intentionally limited standard library with an emphasis on providing library support via the CPAN which is overwhelmingly object-oriented. This makes developing in a functional style difficult as you'll eventually need to rely on a CPAN library that requires you to switch over to object-oriented programming.

LIBRARIES

This package uses type constraints from:
