autobox version 1.04 ==================== The autobox pragma endows Perl's core datatypes with the capabilities of first-class objects. This allows methods to be called on ARRAY refs, HASH refs, CODE refs and raw scalars in exactly the same manner as blessed references. The autoboxing is transparent: boxed values are not blessed into their (user-defined) implementation class (unless the method elects to bestow such a blessing) - they simply use its methods as though they are. autobox is lexically scoped, and handlers for an outer scope can be overridden or countermanded in a nested scope. See the POD for more details.
