The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Variable::Alias
DSLIP: bdpfp
description: Make any variable an alias of another
userid: BRENTDAX (Brent Dax)
chapterid: 3 (Development_Support)
communities:
similar:
Lexical::Alias
rationale:
While the typeglob aliasing functionality exists in Perl, and the
Lexical::Alias module is on the CPAN, there are two weaknesses:
1) The techiques for using them are completely unrelated. 2)
Neither of them allows you to alias something to the elements of an
aggregate.
Since I need the functionality of the latter for another module I'm
working on, I wrapped it up in a module and uploaded it to CPAN.
The name is by analogy to Lexical::Alias. It is in a new namespace,
but one I think can be generally useful.
