=head1 NAME

Sub::Defer - defer generation of subroutines until they are first called

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Sub::Defer;

 my $deferred = defer_sub 'Logger::time_since_first_log' => sub {
    my $t = time;
    sub { time - $t };
 };

  Logger->time_since_first_log; # returns 0 and replaces itself
  Logger->time_since_first_log; # returns time - $t

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These subroutines provide the user with a convenient way to defer creation of
subroutines and methods until they are first called.

=head1 SUBROUTINES

=head2 defer_sub

 my $coderef = defer_sub $name => sub { ... };

This subroutine returns a coderef that encapsulates the provided sub - when
it is first called, the provided sub is called and is -itself- expected to
return a subroutine which will be goto'ed to on subsequent calls.

If a name is provided, this also installs the sub as that name - and when
the subroutine is undeferred will re-install the final version for speed.

=head2 undefer_sub

 my $coderef = undefer_sub \&Foo::name;

If the passed coderef has been L<deferred|/defer_sub> this will "undefer" it.
If the passed coderef has not been deferred, this will just return it.

If this is confusing, take a look at the example in the L</SYNOPSIS>.
