NAME

       "CPS::Future" - compatibility wrapper around Future

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a compatibility wrapper around Future. The code it used to contain was renamed to
       move it out of the "CPS" distribution.  Existing code that refers to "CPS::Future" should be changed to
       use "Future" instead.

   $future->( @result )
       This subclass overloads the calling operator, so simply invoking the future object itself as if it were a
       "CODE" reference is equivalent to calling the "done" method. This makes it simple to pass as a callback
       function to other code.

       It turns out however, that this behaviour is too subtle and can lead to bugs when futures are
       accidentally used as plain "CODE" references. See the "done_cb" method instead. This overload behaviour
       will be removed in a later version.
