Revision history for Variable-Magic
+0.54 2014-09-22 17:30 UTC
+ + Add : The new constant VMG_COMPAT_CODE_COPY_CLONE evaluates to true
+ if your perl calls 'copy' magic when a magical code prototype
+ is cloned, which is currently the case for perl 5.17.0 and
+ above.
+ + Fix : [RT #90205] : copy magic on subs puts raw CV in $_[3]
+ $_[3] will now contain a reference to the cloned code when
+ 'copy' magic is called for a coderef.
+ Thanks Lukas Mai for reporting.
+ + Fix : t/35-stash.t has been taught about perl 5.21.4.
+ + Fix : Tests using run_perl() in t/17-ctl.t will no longer fail on
+ Android.

Variable::Magic - Associate user-defined magic to variables from Perl.
VERSION
- Version 0.53
+ Version 0.54
SYNOPSIS
use Variable::Magic qw<wizard cast VMG_OP_INFO_NAME>;
* *copy*
- This magic only applies to tied arrays and hashes, and fires when
- you try to access or change their elements.
+ When applied to tied arrays and hashes, this magic fires when you
+ try to access or change their elements.
+
+ Starting from perl 5.17.0, it can also be applied to closure
+ prototypes, in which case the magic will be called when the
+ prototype is cloned. The "VMG_COMPAT_CODE_COPY_CLONE" constant is
+ true when your perl support this feature.
* *dup*
* *copy*
- $_[2] is a either an alias or a copy of the current key, and
- $_[3] is an alias to the current element (i.e. the value).
- Because $_[2] might be a copy, it is useless to try to
- change it or cast magic on it.
+ When the variable for which the magic is invoked is an array
+ or an hash, $_[2] is a either an alias or a copy of the
+ current key, and $_[3] is an alias to the current element
+ (i.e. the value). Since $_[2] might be a copy, it is useless
+ to try to change it or cast magic on it.
+
+ Starting from perl 5.17.0, this magic can also be called for
+ code references. In this case, $_[2] is always "undef" and
+ $_[3] is a reference to the cloned anonymous subroutine.
* *fetch*, *store*, *exists* and *delete*
True for perls that don't call *delete* magic when you delete an element
from a hash in void context.
+ "VMG_COMPAT_CODE_COPY_CLONE"
+ True for perls that call *copy* magic when a magical closure prototype
+ is cloned.
+
"VMG_COMPAT_GLOB_GET"
True for perls that call *get* magic for operations on globs.
