    Logic::Kleene - Kleene three-valued logic

REQUIREMENTS
    This module requires Perl 5.6.0 or newer. Only core modules are used.

INSTALLATION
    Installation can be done using the traditional Makefile.PL or the newer
    Build.PL method .

    Using Makefile.PL:

      perl Makefile.PL
      make test
      make install

    (On Windows platforms you should use nmake instead.)

    Using Build.PL (if you have Moddule::Build installed):

      perl Build.PL
      perl Build test
      perl Build install    

    You may see warnings about undefined values during testing. This is
    normal.

SYNOPSIS
      use Logic::Kleene;

      $a = !kleene( somefunction() );

      if ($a &amp;&amp; $b) { ... } 

DESCRIPTION
    This module implements Kleene three-valued logic via overloading.

    The third value is between true and false, and is equivalent to an
    undefined value (as when a program has not yet returned a value).

    The significant different is that the negation of an undefined value is
    still undefined (and so treated as false). For example,

      my $status = kleene(somefunction());
      if (!$status) {
        print "somefunction failed";
      }

    If the status value is false, then it will print the failure message, as
    expected. But if the status is undefined, then it will not print the
    message.

REVISION HISTORY
    The following changes have been made since the last release:

    0.05  Thu Jul 28 2005
            - added 'kleene' function (exported by default)
            - fixed typos in documentation
            - added additional information to the documentation
