Ref::Util::XS - XS implementation for Ref::Util

version 0.117

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;
}

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.
