=head1 NAME

Scalar::Util - A selection of general-utility scalar subroutines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Scalar::Util qw(blessed dualvar isweak readonly refaddr reftype tainted weaken isvstring looks_like_number set_prototype);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Scalar::Util> contains a selection of subroutines that people have
expressed would be nice to have in the perl core, but the usage would
not really be high enough to warrant the use of a keyword, and the size
so small such that being individual extensions would be wasteful.

By default C<Scalar::Util> does not export any subroutines. The
subroutines defined are

=over 4

=item blessed EXPR

If EXPR evaluates to a blessed reference the name of the package
that it is blessed into is returned. Otherwise C<undef> is returned.

   $scalar = "foo";
   $class  = blessed $scalar;           # undef

   $ref    = [];
   $class  = blessed $ref;              # undef

   $obj    = bless [], "Foo";
   $class  = blessed $obj;              # "Foo"

=item dualvar NUM, STRING

Returns a scalar that has the value NUM in a numeric context and the
value STRING in a string context.

    $foo = dualvar 10, "Hello";
    $num = $foo + 2;                    # 12
    $str = $foo . " world";             # Hello world

=item isvstring EXPR

If EXPR is a scalar which was coded as a vstring the result is true.

    $vs   = v49.46.48;
    $fmt  = isvstring($vs) ? "%vd" : "%s"; #true
    printf($fmt,$vs);

=item isweak EXPR

If EXPR is a scalar which is a weak reference the result is true.

    $ref  = \$foo;
    $weak = isweak($ref);               # false
    weaken($ref);
    $weak = isweak($ref);               # true

=item looks_like_number EXPR

Returns true if perl thinks EXPR is a number. See
L<perlapi/looks_like_number>.

=item openhandle FH

Returns FH if FH may be used as a filehandle and is open, or FH is a tied
handle. Otherwise C<undef> is returned.

    $fh = openhandle(*STDIN);        # \*STDIN
    $fh = openhandle(\*STDIN);        # \*STDIN
    $fh = openhandle(*NOTOPEN);        # undef
    $fh = openhandle("scalar");        # undef

=item readonly SCALAR

Returns true if SCALAR is readonly.

    sub foo { readonly($_[0]) }

    $readonly = foo($bar);              # false
    $readonly = foo(0);                 # true

=item refaddr EXPR

If EXPR evaluates to a reference the internal memory address of
the referenced value is returned. Otherwise C<undef> is returned.

    $addr = refaddr "string";           # undef
    $addr = refaddr \$var;              # eg 12345678
    $addr = refaddr [];                 # eg 23456784

    $obj  = bless {}, "Foo";
    $addr = refaddr $obj;               # eg 88123488

=item reftype EXPR

If EXPR evaluates to a reference the type of the variable referenced
is returned. Otherwise C<undef> is returned.

    $type = reftype "string";           # undef
    $type = reftype \$var;              # SCALAR
    $type = reftype [];                 # ARRAY

    $obj  = bless {}, "Foo";
    $type = reftype $obj;               # HASH

=item set_prototype CODEREF, PROTOTYPE

Sets the prototype of the given function, or deletes it if PROTOTYPE is
undef. Returns the CODEREF.

    set_prototype \&foo, '$$';

=item tainted EXPR

Return true if the result of EXPR is tainted

    $taint = tainted("constant");       # false
    $taint = tainted($ENV{PWD});        # true if running under -T

=item weaken REF

REF will be turned into a weak reference. This means that it will not
hold a reference count on the object it references. Also when the reference
count on that object reaches zero, REF will be set to undef.

This is useful for keeping copies of references , but you don't want to
prevent the object being DESTROY-ed at its usual time.

    {
      my $var;
      $ref = \$var;
      weaken($ref);                     # Make $ref a weak reference
    }
    # $ref is now undef

=head1 KNOWN BUGS

There is a bug in perl5.6.0 with UV's that are >= 1<<31. This will
show up as tests 8 and 9 of dualvar.t failing

=head1 BLATANT PLUG

The weaken and isweak subroutines in this module and the patch to the core Perl
were written in connection  with the APress book `Tuomas J. Lukka's Definitive
Guide to Object-Oriented Programming in Perl', to avoid explaining why certain
things would have to be done in cumbersome ways.
