Or you could use L<Array::IntSpan>. Or some other CPAN +module. Why use these? + +=over 4 + +=item * + +they are optimised for serialisation, see +L<Data::MultiValued::UglySerializationHelperRole> and F<t/json.t>. + +=item * + +you get accessors generated for your Moose attributes just by setting +a trait + +=item * + +tags and ranges interact in sensible ways, including clearing ranges + +=back + +=head1 Where to go from here + +Look at the tests for detailed examples of usage. Look at +L<Data::MultiValued::Tags>, L<Data::MultiValued::Ranges> and +L<Data::MultiValued::TagsAndRanges> for the containers +themselves. Look at L<Data::MultiValued::AttributeTrait::Tags>, +L<Data::MultiValued::AttributeTrait::Ranges> and +L<Data::MultiValued::AttributeTrait::TagsAndRanges> for the Moose +attribute traits. + +=head1 AUTHOR + +Gianni Ceccarelli <dakkar@thenautilus.net> + +=head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE + +This software is copyright (c) 2011 by Net-a-porter.com. + +This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under +the same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself. + +=cut + |
