That is to say, +code which properly uses MRO::Compat will work unmodified on both +older Perls and 5.9.5+. + +If you're writing a piece of software that would like to use the +parts of 5.9.5+'s mro:: interfaces that are supported here, and you +want compatibility with older Perls, this is the module for you. + +Some parts of this code will work better and/or faster with +Class::C3::XS installed (which is an optional prereq of Class::C3, +which is in turn a prereq of this package), but it's not a requirement. + +This module never exports any functions. All calls must be fully +qualified with the mro:: prefix. |
