Alias is a perl module that performs aliasing services. It is useful for
|
|
those of you that are tired of dereferencing hash-based object attributes,
|
|
or wish perl could make-do with fewer $, -> and {} things, or are a little
|
|
scared of using typeglobs, or want the freedom to put what you want, when you
|
|
want in the symbol table without having to deal with weird syntax, or need
|
|
to use scalar constants in your program since you don't trust yourself from
|
|
changing $PI (heh). Most notably, there is a C<attr> function that installs
|
|
a whole hash on the symbol table with implicit localization. This allows
|
|
you to access object attributes without having to deref the object every
|
|
time, as in most other OO languages.
