* Package name : libclone-pp-perl Version : 1.02 Upstream Author : Matthew Simon Cavalletto at Evolution Softworks * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Clone-PP/ * License : Dual: Artistic/GPL Programming Lang: Perl Description : Recursively copy Perl datatypes Clone::PP provides a general-purpose clone function to make deep copies of Perl data structures. It calls itself recursively to copy nested hash, array, scalar and reference types, including tied variables and objects. . The clone() function takes a scalar argument to copy. To duplicate arrays or hashes, pass them in by reference: . my $copy = clone([EMAIL PROTECTED]); my @copy = @{ clone([EMAIL PROTECTED]) }; my $copy = clone(\%hash); my %copy = %{ clone(\%hash) }; . The clone() function also accepts an optional second parameter that can be used to limit the depth of the copy. If you pass a limit of 0, clone will return the same value you supplied; for a limit of 1, a shallow copy is constructed; for a limit of 2, two layers of copying are done, and so on. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to pl_PL.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
