=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Clone 'clone';

my $data = {
       set => [ 1 .. 50 ],
       foo => {
           answer => 42,
           object => SomeObject->new,
       },
    };

my $cloned_data = clone($data);

$cloned_data->{foo}{answer} = 1;
    print $cloned_data->{foo}{answer};  # '1'
    print $data->{foo}{answer};         # '42'

You can also add it to your class:

package Foo;
    use parent 'Clone';
    sub new { bless {}, shift }

package main;

my $obj = Foo->new;
    my $copy = $obj->clone;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a C<clone()> method which makes recursive
copies of nested hash, array, scalar and reference types,
including tied variables and objects.

C<clone()> takes a scalar argument and duplicates it. To duplicate lists,
arrays or hashes, pass them in by reference, e.g.

my $copy = clone (\@array);

# or

my %copy = %{ clone (\%hash) };

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<Storable>'s C<dclone()> is a flexible solution for cloning variables,
albeit slower for average-sized data structures. Simple
and naive benchmarks show that Clone is faster for data structures
with 3 or fewer levels, while C<dclone()> can be faster for structures
4 or more levels deep.
