| 250 | FUTURE DIRECTION: the motivation behind this option is to avoid I<real> |

256 | |
|
|
257 | This works like C<allow_cycles> in that it allows the resulting data |
|
|
258 | structures to contain cycles, but unlike C<allow_cycles>, those cyclic |
|
|
259 | rreferences will be weak. That means that code that recurrsively walks |
|
|
260 | the data structure must be prepared with cycles, but at least not special |
|
|
261 | precautions must be implemented to free these data structures. |
|
|
262 | |
|
|
263 | Only those references leading to actual cycles will be weakened - other |
|
|
264 | references, e.g. when the same hash or arrray is referenced multiple times |
|
|
265 | in an arrray, will be normal references. |
