NAME
    Var::State - state [variable]; in perl 5.8 - sort-of...

VERSION
    0.04

SYNOPSIS
     use Var::State;

     sub foo {
         my $i = 0;
         my_state $i;
         return $i++;
     }

     print foo() for(0..10); # should print 0 to 10

FUNCTIONS
  my_state(var)
    Will make "var" (@var, $var, %var) static.

  state(var)
    IMPORTANT: READ BUGS AND LIMITATIONS!

    Not yet implemented.

  import
    Will import "my_state()" into the current namespace.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
    Need to add state as a keyword, so you don't have to declare the
    variable with my() first! This exact problem breakes compatibility with
    5.10's state, and therefore t/11-state-5.10.t is not included in the
    test-suite - yet.

    Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-var-state at
    rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at
    <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Var-State>. I will be
    notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your
    bug as I make changes.
