NAME

Data::Maker::Value - A value generated by a Data::Maker::Field

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
my $record = $maker->next_record;
my $first_name = $record->{first_name};   # <=== A Data::Maker::Value object
# automatic stringification
print "First name: $first_name\n";
# or, value() for backwards compatibility
printf "First name: %s\n", $first_name->value;
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This is a lightweight wrapper for Data::Maker field values that allows the Data::Maker internals to run a bit faster than they would without it, at the same time maintaining backward compatibility.

METHODS

value

Returns the boxed value.
