This module provides automatic methods which wrap perl's built-in functions for minipulating numbers, strings, arrays, hashes, and code references. it can be handy to use built-in functions as methods to avoid messy dereferencing syntaxes and parentheses pile ups.

autobox::core is what you'd call a stub module. it is merely glue, presenting existing functions with a new interface. most of the methods read like sub hex ($) { hex($_[0]) }. besides built-ins that operate on hashes, arrays, scalars, and code references, some perl 6-ish things were thrown in, and some keywords like foreach have been turned into methods.
