P5-clone-fast

Natively copying Perl data structures

Essentially, this module is a very optimized version of CloneMore. By taking advantage of one of CloneMore’s ‘OPTIMIZATION_HACKS’ as well as removing all the Pure Perl from the More.pm, I was able to gain a lot of speed out of the module. Essentially, though, the core of the module is exactly as that of CloneMore.

You will see that by using Benchmarkcmpthese, I ran a simple comparison between Storabledclone, CloneMoreclone, and CloneFastclone. You will should begin to see the reason why I loaded this module along side of CloneMore.

For more information relative to the DESCRIPTION of this module, I recommend peeking into the POD written for CloneMore I took more time with it ;
