This wrapper can be compiled once for + all to avoid calling "eval" at each run (like "recall" does). You can + still force the prototype by passing "{ $name => $proto }" as the first + argument. Others arguments are seen as key / value pairs and tune the + code generated by "wrap". Valid keys are : + + "ref => $func" + Specifies the function used in the generated code to test the + reference type of scalars. Defaults to 'ref'. You may also want to + use "Scalar::Util::reftype". + + "wrong_ref => $code" + The code executed when a reference of incorrect type is encountered. + The result of this snippet is also the result of the generated code, + hence it defaults to 'undef'. It's a good place to "croak" or "die" + too. + + "sub => $bool" + Encloses the code into a "sub { }" block. Default is true. + + "compile => $bool" + Makes "wrap" compile the code generated and return the resulting + code reference. Implies "sub => 1". Be careful that in this case + "ref" must be a fully qualified function name. Defaults to false. + + This is how you make your own "push" that pushes into array references : + + my @a = (0 .. 2); + my $push = wrap 'CORE::push', compile => 1; + $push->(\@a, 3 .. 7); # returns 3 + 5 = 8, and @a now contains 0 .. 7 + EXPORT - The functions "flatten" and "recall" are only exported on request, - either by providing their name or by the ':funcs' and ':all' tags. + The functions "flatten", "recall" and "wrap" are only exported on + request, either by providing their name or by the ':funcs' and ':all' + tags.
