This module never exports any functions. All calls must be fully
qualified with the "mro::" prefix.
mro are the real interface docs, and contain a lot of other useful
information.
-VERSION 0.02
- This is the first release of this new module, and on top of that, the
- Perl 5.9.5 it seeks to provide compatibility with isn't even out yet.
-
- If you're going to use/depend on this, please keep abreast of possible
- interface changes in the next few versions. Once Perl 5.9.5 is out the
- door the interfaces should stabilize on whatever 5.9.5 has to offer. In
- the meantime, don't be surprised if MRO::Compat and 5.9.5's interfaces
- aren't perfectly in sync at all times.

Functions
mro::get_linear_isa($classname[, $type])
Returns an arrayref which is the linearized MRO of the given class. Uses
"mro::set_mro("Foo", 'c3')" available on older Perls, it does so merely
by passing off the work to Class::C3.
- It does not remove the need for you to call Class::C3's "initialize()",
- "reinitialize()", and/or "uninitialize()" at the appropriate times as
- documented in the Class::C3 docs.
-
- Because MRO::Compat has Class::C3 as a pre-requisite, and requires it at
- "use" time, you can blindly call those functions in code that uses
- MRO::Compat. Under 5.9.5+ with MRO::Compat, your calls to those
- functions will become a no-op and everything will work fine.
+ It does not remove the need for you to call "Class::C3::initialize()",
+ "Class::C3::reinitialize()", and/or "Class::C3::uninitialize()" at the
+ appropriate times as documented in the Class::C3 docs. These three
+ functions are always provided by MRO::Compat, either via Class::C3
+ itself on older Perls, or directly as no-ops on 5.9.5+.
