"CPS::Future" - compatibility wrapper around Future
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a compatibility wrapper around Future. The code it
used to contain was renamed to move it out of the "CPS" distribution.
Existing code that refers to "CPS::Future" should be changed to use
"Future" instead.
$future->( @result )
This subclass overloads the calling operator, so simply invoking the
future object itself as if it were a "CODE" reference is equivalent to
calling the "done" method. This makes it simple to pass as a callback
function to other code.
It turns out however, that this behaviour is too subtle and can lead to
bugs when futures are accidentally used as plain "CODE" references. See
the "done_cb" method instead. This overload behaviour will be removed
in a later version.
