Mouse::XS - A Mouse guts in XS
Contents
Caveat
There are some Mouse::XS specific features.
Mutating references to the return values of getters
When you take a reference from Mouse getters, like "$ref = \$obj->foo", the $ref refers
"\$obj->{foo}". That is, mutating $$ref also alters "$obj->{foo}". The behavior may confuse you so
you'd better avoid to take a reference directly from getters.
See <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=82945> for details.
Dependencies
The XS implementation requires Perl 5.8.1 or later, and a C compiler.
Description
Mouse has an optional XS implementation, which is automatically built and used if available. According to
benchmarks, this is about 2 times faster than Mouse::PurePerl.
INSTALL
The XS implementation are selected by default, but you can force it by passing the "--xs" option to
Makefile.PL.
perl Makefile.PL --xs
If you do not want to build the XS implementation, you can pass the "--pp" option to Makefile.PL.
perl Makefile.PL --pp
Or if you use "cpanm" (>= 1.7), you can give "--pp" option to "cpanm".
cpanm --pp Mouse
TheMOUSE_PUREPERL(orPERL_ONLY)environmentvariable
It can be used to enable the use of Mouse::PurePerl in order to test and debug programs that use Mouse.
