The default preference is Clone Storable Clone::PP This list might evolve in future. Please see L how to pick a particular one. =head1 EXPORTS C exports C by default. One can explicitly import C by using use Clone::Choose qw(clone); or pick a particular C implementation use Clone::Choose qw(:Storable clone); The exported implementation is resolved dynamically, which means that any using module can either rely on the default backend preference or choose a particular one. It is also possible to select a particular C backend by setting the environment variable CLONE_CHOOSE_PREFERRED_BACKEND to your preferred backend. This also means, an already chosen import can't be modified like use Clone::Choose qw(clone :Storable); When one seriously needs different clone implementations, our I way to use them would be: use Clone::Choose (); # do not import my ($xs_clone, $st_clone); { local @Clone::Choose::BACKENDS = (Clone => "clone"); $xs_clone = Clone::Choose->can("clone"); } { local @Clone::Choose::BACKENDS = (Storable => "dclone"); $st_clone = Clone::Choose->can("clone"); } Don't misinterpret I - modifying C<@Clone::Choose::BACKENDS> has a lot of pitfalls and is unreliable beside such small examples. Do not hesitate open a request with an appropriate proposal for choosing implementations dynamically. The use of C<@Clone::Choose::BACKENDS> is discouraged and will be deprecated as soon as anyone provides a better idea. =head1 PACKAGE METHODS =head2 backend C tells the caller about the dynamic chosen backend: use Clone::Choose; say Clone::Choose->backend; # Clone This method currently exists for debug purposes only. =head2 get_backends C returns a list of the currently supported backends. =head1 AUTHOR Jens Rehsack Stefan Hermes =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
