=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Clone 'clone';
my $data = {
set => [ 1 .. 50 ],
foo => {
answer => 42,
object => SomeObject->new,
},
};
my $cloned_data = clone($data);
$cloned_data->{foo}{answer} = 1;
print $cloned_data->{foo}{answer}; # '1'
print $data->{foo}{answer}; # '42'
You can also add it to your class:
package Foo;
use parent 'Clone';
sub new { bless {}, shift }
package main;
my $obj = Foo->new;
my $copy = $obj->clone;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides a C<clone()> method which makes recursive
copies of nested hash, array, scalar and reference types,
including tied variables and objects.
C<clone()> takes a scalar argument and duplicates it. To duplicate lists,
arrays or hashes, pass them in by reference, e.g.
my $copy = clone (\@array);
# or
my %copy = %{ clone (\%hash) };
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<Storable>'s C<dclone()> is a flexible solution for cloning variables,
albeit slower for average-sized data structures. Simple
and naive benchmarks show that Clone is faster for data structures
with 3 or fewer levels, while C<dclone()> can be faster for structures
4 or more levels deep.
