NAME UNIVERSAL::clone - add clone method to all classes and objects SYNOPSIS use UNIVERSAL::clone; $a = new Foo; $b = $a->clone(); # or use UNIVERSAL::clone qw(Storable); # use Storable::dclone use UNIVERSAL::clone qw(Clone); # use Clone::clone (default) DESCRIPTION Loading the UNIVERSAL::clone module adds clone method to all classes and methods. You can get a 'complete' copy of an object. See Storable or Clone perldoc for more details. Internally it just calls Clone::clone by default, but you can use standard (but slower) Storable module instead. SEE ALSO Storable, Clone AUTHOR Okamoto RYO
