This module allows you to write-protect and write-enable
|
|
your Perl variables, objects and data structures.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, the reference count of any Perl variable can
|
|
be read and set.
|
|
|
|
You can never pass the object directly on which to
|
|
perform the desired action, you always have to pass
|
|
a reference to the variable or data structure in
|
|
question.
|
|
|
|
This comes in handy for objects and anonymous data
|
|
structures, where you only have a reference anyway!
|
|
|
|
BEWARE: This module is DANGEROUS!
|
|
|
|
DO NOT attempt to unlock Perl's built-in variables!
|
|
|
|
DO NOT manipulate reference counts unless you know
|
|
exactly what you're doing!
|
|
|
|
ANYTHING might happen! Hell might break loose! :-)
|
|
|
|
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
