* Package name : libobject-result-perl Version : 0.000003 Upstream Author : Damian Conway <dcon...@cpan.org> * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Object-Result * License : artistic2 Programming Lang: Perl Description : Allow subs to build and return objects on-the-fly Object::Result adds a new keyword to Perl: result That keyword acts like a return, but instead of a list of values to return, it takes a single block which specifies the behaviour (i.e. the methods and operator overloading) of an object to be returned. The intention is to make it much less onerous to return clean, properly encapsulated objects...instead of returning lists of values or references to arrays or hashes. This library is a requirement for libinfluxdb-http-perl, which is itself a requirement to the newer upstream release of smokeping. I plan to maintain this package from within the Perl team, and I will ask for sponsorship within the team.
