Yes, exactly.
The only thing in Defer.pm that I do not have in Data::Lazy is the
attribute syntax. Maybe it'd be better to add that to my module
instead of uploading a brand new module :-)
Does your module untie the original object when it is read the first
time, where it could? This avoids the tie overhead on every
subsequent access.
Do you provide any interface other than tie? For instance, I have an
`overload' interface that passes method calls and accesses onto the
lazy object, so you can do stuff like this:
my $dbh = defer { DBI-connect(@dsn) };
Changing the `defer' to `do' to have it execute immediately is one
nice feature of this syntax.
Patches welcome, otherwise I'll have a look at Defer.pm when I get
some free time and steal the attribute stuff from there ... that is
if Sam doesn't mind ;-)
Not at all, please go ahead.
