This is smart so +that it works with not only non-blessed references, but also with blessed +references (i.e. objects). When clone() finds an object, it calls a clone method +of the object if the object has a clone, otherwise it makes a surface copy of +the object. That is, this module does polymorphic data cloning. + +Although there are several modules on CPAN which can clone data, this module has +a different cloning policy from almost all of them. See "Cloning policy" and +"Comparison to other cloning modules" [1] for details. + +[1] http://search.cpan.org/dist/Data-Clone/lib/Data/Clone.pm + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Data-Clone/ |
