1 The Perl 5 module autobox::Core wraps perl's built-in functions for
2 manipulating numbers, strings, arrays, hashes, and code references.
3 It can be handy to use built-in functions as methods to avoid messy
4 dereferencing syntaxes and parentheses pile ups.
6 The autobox module lets you call methods in scalars that aren't
7 object references but perl but does not itself provide any methods
8 to call. That is left to the user or another module, for example,
11 autobox::Core is a stub module. It is merely glue, presenting
12 existing functions with a new interface. Besides built-ins that
13 operate on hashes, arrays, scalars, and code references, some Perl
14 6-ish things were thrown in, and some keyword like foreach have
15 been turned into methods.
