Ref::Util::XS(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Ref::Util::XS(3) NAME Ref::Util::XS - XS implementation for Ref::Util VERSION version 0.117 SYNOPSIS use Ref::Util; # Don't use Ref::Util::XS directly! if (is_arrayref($something) { print for @$something; } elsif (is_hashref($something)) { print for sort values %$something; } DESCRIPTION Ref::Util::XS is the XS implementation of Ref::Util, which provides several functions to help identify references in a more convenient way than the usual approach of examining the return value of "ref". You should use Ref::Util::XS by installing Ref::Util itself: if the system you install it on has a C compiler available, "Ref::Util::XS" will be installed and used automatically, providing a significant speed boost to everything that uses "Ref::Util". See Ref::Util for full documentation of the available functions.
