NAME
Class::MOP::Package - Package Meta Object
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
METHODS
- meta
- initialize ($package_name)
- name
-
This is a read-only attribute which returns the package name for the given instance.
- namespace
-
This returns a HASH reference to the symbol table. The keys of the HASH are the symbol names, and the values are typeglob references.
- add_package_symbol ($variable_name, ?$initial_value)
-
Given a
$variable_name, which must contain a leading sigil, this method will create that variable within the package which houses the class. It also takes an optional$initial_value, which must be a reference of the same type as the sigil of the$variable_nameimplies. - get_package_symbol ($variable_name)
-
This will return a reference to the package variable in
$variable_name. - has_package_symbol ($variable_name)
-
Returns true (
1) if there is a package variable defined for$variable_name, and false (0) otherwise. - remove_package_symbol ($variable_name)
-
This will attempt to remove the package variable at
$variable_name. - remove_package_glob ($glob_name)
-
This will attempt to remove the entire typeglob associated with
$glob_namefrom the package. - list_all_package_symbols (?$type_filter)
-
This will list all the glob names associated with the current package. By inspecting the globs returned you can discern all the variables in the package.
By passing a
$type_filter, you can limit the list to only those which match the filter (either SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH or CODE).
