NAME
FunctionalPerl - functional programming in Perl
SYNOPSIS
use FunctionalPerl;
FunctionalPerl->VERSION # or $FunctionalPerl::VERSION
# The actual modules are in the FP:: namespace hierarchy, like:
use FP::List;
# But you can also import sets of modules from here, e.g.:
use FunctionalPerl qw(:sequences :repl);DESCRIPTION
Allows Perl programs to be written with fewer side effects.
See the Functional Perl home page.
EXPORTS
FunctionalPerl also acts as a convenience re-exporter, offering tags to load sets of modules.
Note that the tags and the sets of modules are very much alpha. If you want to have a better chance of code not breaking, import the modules you want directly.
Tags can be expanded via:
my ($modules, $unused_tags)= FunctionalPerl::expand(qw(:dev :most));
is $$modules{"FP::Failure"}, 2; # number of times used.
use FP::Equal 'is_equal';
is_equal $unused_tags,
[':all', ':ast', ':csv', ':dbi', ':fix', ':git', ':io', ':path', ':pxml', ':rare', ':trampoline', ':transparentlazy'];SEE ALSO
