=head1 DESCRIPTION
Do B<not> update the %FIELDS hash directly, because it must be created
at compile-time for it to be fully useful, as is done by this pragma.
+B<Only valid for perl before 5.9.0:>
+
If a typed lexical variable holding a reference is used to access a
-hash element and a package with the same name as the type has declared
-class fields using this pragma, then the operation is turned into an
-array access at compile time.
+hash element and a package with the same name as the type has
+declared class fields using this pragma, then the operation is
+turned into an array access at compile time.
+
The related C<base> pragma will combine fields from base classes and any
fields declared using the C<fields> pragma. This enables field
overridden but will generate a warning if used together with the C<-w>
switch.
-The effect of all this is that you can have objects with named fields
-which are as compact and as fast arrays to access. This only works
-as long as the objects are accessed through properly typed variables.
-If the objects are not typed, access is only checked at run time.

The following functions are supported:
-=over 8
+=over 4
=item new
-fields::new() creates and blesses a pseudo-hash comprised of the fields
-declared using the C<fields> pragma into the specified class.
+B< perl before 5.9.0: > fields::new() creates and blesses a
+pseudo-hash comprised of the fields declared using the C<fields>
+pragma into the specified class.
+
+B< perl 5.9.0 and higher: > fields::new() creates and blesses a
+restricted-hash comprised of the fields declared using the C<fields>
+pragma into the specified class.
+
+This function is usable with or without pseudo-hashes. It is the
+recommended way to construct a fields-based object.
+
This makes it possible to write a constructor like this:
package Critter::Sounds;
use fields qw(cat dog bird);
sub new {
- my Critter::Sounds $self = shift;
- $self = fields::new($self) unless ref $self;
- $self->{cat} = 'meow'; # scalar element
- @$self{'dog','bird'} = ('bark','tweet'); # slice
- return $self;
+ my $self = shift;
+ $self = fields::new($self) unless ref $self;
+ $self->{cat} = 'meow'; # scalar element
+ @$self{'dog','bird'} = ('bark','tweet'); # slice
+ return $self;
}
=item phash
+B< before perl 5.9.0: >
+
fields::phash() can be used to create and initialize a plain (unblessed)
pseudo-hash. This function should always be used instead of creating
pseudo-hashes directly.
subroutine arguments:
sub dogtag {
- my $tag = fields::phash([qw(name rank ser_num)], [@_]);
+ my $tag = fields::phash([qw(name rank ser_num)], [@_]);
}
fields::phash() also accepts a list of key-value pairs that will
be used to construct the pseudo hash. Examples:
my $tag = fields::phash(name => "Joe",
- rank => "captain",
- ser_num => 42);
+ rank => "captain",
+ ser_num => 42);
my $pseudohash = fields::phash(%args);
+B< perl 5.9.0 and higher: >
+
+Pseudo-hashes have been removed from Perl as of 5.10. Consider using
+restricted hashes or fields::new() instead. Using fields::phash()
+will cause an error.
