NAME

Class::Stringify - Perl extension for default class stringification

SYNOPSIS

use Class::Stringify;
our @ISA = qw(Class::Stringify);

DESCRIPTION

Class::Stringify offers an easy solution to the problem of default stringification in classes with operator overloading. Simply by inheriting from this class, you'll never have to see this error ever again:

Operation `""': no method found, argument in overloaded package...

HISTORY

  • 10/16/01 - Robby Walker - wrote the module, some testing - version 0.001

TODO

  • More testing.

BUGS

I'm not sure how this module will perform with multi-blessed references.

Also, someone needs to make sure that the HvSTASH call in Stringify.xs doesn't cause a memory leak.
