NAME

FunctionalPerl - functional programming in Perl

SYNOPSIS

    use FunctionalPerl;
    FunctionalPerl->VERSION # or $FunctionalPerl::VERSION

    # The actual modules are in the FP:: namespace hierarchy, like:
    use FP::List;

    # But you can also import sets of modules from here, e.g.:
    #use FunctionalPerl qw(:sequences :repl);

DESCRIPTION

Allows Perl programs to be written with fewer side effects.

See the Functional Perl home page.

EXPORTS

FunctionalPerl also acts as a convenience re-exporter, offering tags to load sets of modules. (It also has one normal export: `expand_import_tags`, see below.)

Note that the tags and the sets of modules are very much alpha. If you want to have a better chance of code not breaking, import the modules you want directly.

Tags can be expanded via:

    use FunctionalPerl qw(expand_import_tags);
    my ($modules, $unused_tags, $nontags) = expand_import_tags(qw(:dev :most not_a_tag));
    is $$modules{"FP::Failure"}, 2; # number of times used.
    is_deeply $unused_tags,
              [':all', ':all_sequences', ':ast', ':csv', ':dbi', ':fix', ':git', ':io', ':paths', ':pxml', ':rare', ':trampolines', ':transparentlazy'];
    is_deeply $nontags, ['not_a_tag'];
