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.
- Only valid for perl before 5.9.0:
+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.
+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.
The related C<base> pragma will combine fields from base classes and any
overridden but will generate a warning if used together with the C<-w>
switch.
- Only valid for perls before 5.9.0:
-
- 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:

=item new
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:
use fields qw(cat dog bird);
sub new {
- my $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.

- If the first argument is a reference to an array, the pseudo-hash will
- be created with keys from that array. If a second argument is supplied,
- it must also be a reference to an array whose elements will be used as
- the values. If the second array contains less elements than the first,
- the trailing elements of the pseudo-hash will not be initialized.
- This makes it particularly useful for creating a pseudo-hash from
- subroutine arguments:
