Devel::WeakRef - weak references (not reference-counted)

++

++

A weak reference maintains a "pointer" to an object (specified by a reference to it, just like "bless") that does not contribute to the object's reference count; thus, the object's storage will be freed (and its destructor invoked) when only weak ref...

Devel::Memo - memoize function calls

A Devel::Memo object is defined as a subroutine reference to do some sort of calculation, together with a simple sort of prototype. The elements of the prototype may be: -eq, indicating a simple scalar argument (number or string); -equal, indicating ...

Sys::Pushd - change directory temporarily

Synopsis pretty much says it all. Based conceptually on SelectSaver. Multiple directories may be given, in which case they will be chdird to in order encountered....
