libscalar-properties-perl binary package in Ubuntu Xenial amd64
Scalar::Properties attempts to make Perl more object-oriented by
taking an idea from Ruby: Everything you manipulate is an object,
and the results of those manipulations are objects themselves.
.
'hello world'->length
(-1234)->abs
"oh my god, it's full of properties"
.
The first example asks a string to calculate its length. The second
example asks a number to calculate its absolute value. And the
third example asks a string to find the index of the letter 'g'.
.
Using this module you can have run-time properties on initialized
scalar variables and literal values. The word 'properties' is used
in the Perl 6 sense: out-of-band data, little sticky notes that
are attached to the value. While attributes (as in Perl 5's attribute
pragma, and see the Attribute::* family of modules) are handled
at compile-time, properties are handled at run-time.
