NAME Object::Util::Stringify - Utility routines related to object stringification VERSION This document describes version 0.003 of Object::Util::Stringify (from Perl distribution Object-Util-Stringify), released on 2021-11-23. SYNOPSIS use Object::Util::Stringify qw( set_stringify unset_stringify ); # An easy way to set what string an object should stringify to set_stringify($obj, "oh my!"); print $obj; # => prints "oh my!" # Remove stringification unset_stringify($obj); print $obj; # => prints the standard stringification, e.g. My::Package=HASH(0x562847e245e8) DESCRIPTION Keywords: overload, stringify, stringification FUNCTIONS set_stringify Usage: set_stringify($obj, $str); Set object stringification to $str. Caveats: cloned object currently will not inherit the stringification, serialization currently does not serialize the stringification information. unset_stringify Usage: unset_stringify($obj); Reset/remove object stringification.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin.
