DESCRIPTION

26       NOTE: This module is still experimental, and the API may change at any
27       point.  You have been warned!
28
29       This module allows you to override the behavior of the smart match
30       operator ("~~"). "use smartmatch $matcher" hooks into the compiler to
31       replace the smartmatch opcode with a call to a custom subroutine,
32       specified either as a coderef or as a string, which will have
33       "smartmatch::engine::" prepended to it and used as the name of a
34       package in which to find a subroutine named "match".  The subroutine
35       will be called with two arguments, the values on the left and right
36       sides of the smart match operator, and should return the result.
37
38       This module is lexically scoped, and you can call "no smartmatch" to
39       restore the core perl smart matching behavior.
