NAME

smartmatch::engine::core - default smartmatch implementation from 5.10 - 5.14

VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

  use smartmatch 'core';

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: This module is still experimental, and the API may change at any point. You have been warned!

This module implements the existing smart matching algorithm from perl 5.14, as a module. It has a pure perl implementation of the algorithm (which can be requested by setting $smartmatch::engine::core::USE_PP to a true value before useing this engine), but by default it uses a C implementation which should be identical to the algorithm in 5.14 - this module uses some new compiler hooks to turn calls to the engine's match function into a custom opcode, which is implemented by a copy of the smart match code from perl 5.14.
