  Description     : Recursively copy Perl datatypes

 Clone::PP provides a general-purpose clone function to make deep
 copies of Perl data structures. It calls itself recursively to copy
 nested hash, array, scalar and reference types, including tied
 variables and objects.
 .
 The clone() function takes a scalar argument to copy. To duplicate
 arrays or hashes, pass them in by reference:
 .
 my $copy = clone(\@array);    my @copy = @{ clone(\@array) };
 my $copy = clone(\%hash);     my %copy = %{ clone(\%hash) };
 .
 The clone() function also accepts an optional second parameter that
 can be used to limit the depth of the copy. If you pass a limit of
 0, clone will return the same value you supplied; for a limit of
 1, a shallow copy is constructed; for a limit of 2, two layers of
 copying are done, and so on.
