3Data::Alias - Comprehensive set of aliasing operations
4
5DESCRIPTION
6
7Aliasing is the phenomenon where two different expressions actually
8refer to the same thing. Modifying one will modify the other, and if
9you take a reference to both, the two values are the same.
10
11Data::Alias is a module that allows you to apply "aliasing semantics"
12to a section of code, causing aliases to be made whereever Perl would
13normally make copies instead. You can use this to improve efficiency
14and readability, when compared to using references.
