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

Allow 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.

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:

    my ($modules, $unused_tags)= FunctionalPerl::expand(qw(:dev :most));
    is $$modules{"FP::Failure"}, 2; # number of times used.
    use FP::Equal 'is_equal';
    is_equal $unused_tags,
             [':all', ':ast', ':csv', ':dbi', ':fix', ':git', ':io', ':path', ':pxml', ':rare', ':trampoline', ':transparentlazy'];
