NAME

       Data::Perl - Base classes wrapping fundamental Perl data types.

VERSION

       version 0.002007

SYNOPSIS

         use Data::Perl;

         my $array = array(1,2,3, qw/a b c/);

         $array->count; # 6

         my @elements = $array->grep(sub {/b/}); # (b)

         my $hash = hash(a => 1, b => 2);

         $hash->keys; # ('a', 'b');

         my $number = number(5);

         $number->add(10); # 15

         my $string = string("foo\n");

         $string->chomp; # return 1, chomps string

         my $counter = counter();

         $counter->inc; # counter is now 1

         my $sub = code(sub { 'foo' });

         $sub->execute; # returns 'foo'

         $foo

DESCRIPTION

       Data::Perl is a collection of classes that wrap fundamental data types that exist in Perl.
       These classes and methods as they exist today are an attempt to mirror functionality
       provided by Moose's Native Traits. One important thing to note is all classes currently do
       no validation on constructor input.

       Data::Perl is a container class for the following classes:

       •   Data::Perl::Collection::Hash

       •   Data::Perl::Collection::Array

       •   Data::Perl::String

       •   Data::Perl::Number

       •   Data::Perl::Counter

       •   Data::Perl::Bool

       •   Data::Perl::Code

ALPHA API

       The API provided by these modules is as of now considered alpha and undecided.  The API
       WILL change.  If you are writing code that you will not touch again for years, do not use
       this until this warning is removed.

PROVIDED FUNCTIONS

       Data::Perl exports helper constructor functions to interface with the above classes:

       •   hash(key, value, ...)

           Returns a Data::Perl::Collection::Hash object initialized with the optionally passed
           in key/value args.

       •   array(@args)

           Returns a Data::Perl::Collection::Array object initialized with the optionally passed
           in values.

       •   string($arg)

           Returns a Data::Perl::String object initialized with the optionally passed in scalar
           arg.

       •   number($arg)

           Returns a Data::Perl::Number object initialized with the optionally passed in scalar
           arg.

       •   counter($arg)

           Returns a Data::Perl::Counter object initialized with the optionally passed in scalar
           arg.

       •   bool($arg)

           Returns a Data::Perl::Bool object initialized with the truth value of the passed in
           scalar arg.

       •   code($arg)

           Returns a Data::Perl::Code object initialized with the optionally passed in scalar
           coderef as an arg.

THANKS

       Much thanks to the Moose team for their work with native traits, for which much of this
       work is based.
