%description
Aliasing is the phenomenon where two different expressions actually refer
to the same thing. Modifying one will modify the other, and if you take a
reference to both, the two values are the same.

Aliasing occurs in Perl for example in for-loops and sub-calls:

    for $var ($x) {
            # here $var is an alias to $x
    }

    foo($y);
    sub foo {
            # here $_[0] is an alias to $y
    }

Data::Alias is a module that allows you to apply "aliasing semantics" to a
section of code, causing aliases to be made wherever Perl would normally
make copies instead. You can use this to improve efficiency and
readability, when compared to using references.

The exact details of aliasing semantics are below under DETAILS.

Perl 5.22 added some support for aliasing to the Perl core. It has a
different syntax, and a different set of operations, from that supplied by
this module; see perlref/Assigning to References. The core's aliasing
facilities are implemented more robustly than this module and are better
supported. If you can rely on having a sufficiently recent Perl version,
you should prefer to use the core facility rather than use this module. If
you are already using this module and are now using a sufficiently recent
Perl, you should attempt to migrate to the core facility.
