Run this *.pl files. =head1 DESCRIPTION This module implements lazy evaluation and can create lazy objects from every class. Creates a dummy object including a subroutine which knows how to build the real object. Later, if a method of the object is called, the real object will be built. Inherited methods from UNIVERSAL.pm are implemented and so overwritten. This are isa, DOES, can and VERSION. =head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS =head2 method new =head3 short constructor $object = Object::Lazy->new( sub { return RealClass->new(...); }, ); =head3 extended constructor $object = Object::Lazy->new({ build => sub { return RealClass->new(...); }, }); =over 4 =item * optional parameter isa There are 3 ways to check the class or inheritance. If there is no parameter isa, the object must be built before. If the C is outside of C< sub {...}>> then the class method C<isa(...);>> checks the class or inheritance. Otherwise the isa parameter is a full notation of the class and possible of the inheritance. $object = Object::Lazy->new({ ... isa => 'RealClass', }); or $object = Object::Lazy->new({ ... isa => [qw(RealClass BaseClassOfRealClass)], }); =item * optional parameter DOES It is similar to parameter isa. But do not note the inheritance. Note the Rules here. $object = Object::Lazy->new({ ... DOES => 'Role1', }); or $object = Object::Lazy->new({ ... DOES => [qw(Role1 Role2)], }); =item * optional parameter VERSION For the VERSION method tell Object::Lazy which version shold be checked. $object = Object::Lazy->new({ ... VERSION => '123', }); or use version; $object = Object::Lazy->new({ ... VERSION => qv('1.2.3'), # version object }); =item * optional parameter version_from For the VERSION method tell Object::Lazy which class shold be version checked. $object = Object::Lazy->new({ ... version_from => 'RealClass', }); =item * optional parameter logger Optional notation of the logger code to show the build process. $object = Object::Lazy->new({ ... logger => sub { my $at_stack = shift; print "RealClass $at_stack"; }, }); =item * optional parameter ref Optional notation of the ref answer. It is not a good idea to use the Object::Lazy::Ref module by default. But there are situations, the lazy idea would run down the river if I had not implemented this feature. use Object::Lazy::Ref; # overwrite CORE::GLOBAL::ref $object = Object::Lazy->new({ ... ref => 'RealClass', }); $boolean_true = ref $object eq 'RealClass'; =back =head2 method isa If no isa parameter was given at method new, the object will build. Otherwise the method isa checks by isa class method or only the given parameters. $boolean = $object->isa('RealClass'); or $boolean = $object->isa('BaseClassOfRealClass'); =head2 method DOES If no isa or DOES parameter was given at method new, the object will build. Otherwise the method DOES checks by DOES class method or only the given parameters isa and DOES. $boolean = $object->DOES('Role'); =head2 method can The object will build. After that the can method checks the built object. $coderef_or_undef = $object->can('method'); =head2 method VERSION If no VERSION or version_from parameter was given at method new, the object will build. =head3 VERSION parameter set The given version will be returnd or checked. $version = $object->VERSION; or $object->VERSION($required_version); =head3 version_from parameter set The version of the class in version_from will be returnd or checked. This class should be used or required before. Is that not possible use parameter VERSION instead. $version = $object->VERSION; or $object->VERSION($required_version); =head1 DIAGNOSTICS The constructor can confess at false parameters. UNIVERSAL 1.04 (Perl 5.10) required for method DOES. =head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT nothing =head1 DEPENDENCIES L L L =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES not known =head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS UNIVERSAL.pm 1.04 implements DOES first time. This version is part of the Perl 5.10 distribution. =head1 SEE ALSO UNIVERSAL L The scalar will be built at C at first sub call. L The scalar will be built at C at first sub call.
