NAME
    Defaults::Modern - Yet another approach to modernistic Perl

SYNOPSIS
      use Defaults::Modern;

      # Function::Parameters + List::Objects::WithUtils + types ->
      fun to_immutable ( (ArrayRef | ArrayObj) $arr ) {
        # blessed() and confess() are available (amongst others):
        my $immutable = immarray( blessed $arr ? $arr->all : @$arr );
        confess "No items in array!" unless $immutable->has_any;
        $immutable
      }

      # define keyword for defining constants ->

      define ARRAY_MAX = 10;

      fun slice_to_max ( ArrayObj $arr ) {
        $arr->sliced( 0 .. ARRAY_MAX )
      }

      # Optionally autobox list-type refs via List::Objects::WithUtils ->
      use Defaults::Modern 'autobox_lists';

      my $obj = +{ foo => 'bar', baz => 'quux' }->inflate;
      my $baz = $obj->baz;

      # See DESCRIPTION for complete details on imported functionality.

DESCRIPTION
    Yet another approach to writing Perl in a modern style.

    . . . also saves me extensive typing ;-)

    When you "use Defaults::Modern", you get:

    *   strict and fatal warnings except for "once"; additionally disallow
        bareword::filehandles and indirect method calls

    *   The "v5.14" feature set ("state", "say", "unicode_strings",
        "array_base") -- except for "switch", which is deprecated in newer
        perls

    *   carp, croak, and confess error reporting tools from Carp

    *   blessed, reftype, and weaken utilities from Scalar::Util

    *   array, immarray, and hash object constructors from
        List::Objects::WithUtils

    *   fun and method keywords from Function::Parameters

    *   The full Types::Standard set and List::Objects::Types, which are
        useful in combination with Function::Parameters (see the "SYNOPSIS"
        and Function::Parameters POD)

    *   try and catch from Try::Tiny

    *   The path object constructor from Path::Tiny

    *   maybe and provided definedness-checking syntax sugar from
        PerlX::Maybe

    *   A define keyword for defining constants based on PerlX::Define

    *   true so you can skip adding '1;' to all of your modules

    If you import "autobox_lists", ARRAY and HASH type references are
    autoboxed via List::Objects::WithUtils.

    Uses Import::Into to provide import; see the Import::Into documentation
    for details.

SEE ALSO
    This package just glues together useful parts of CPAN, the most visible
    portions of which come from the following modules:

    Carp

    Function::Parameters

    List::Objects::WithUtils

    List::Objects::Types

    Path::Tiny

    PerlX::Maybe

    Scalar::Util

    Try::Tiny

    Types::Standard

    Type::Tiny
