NAME

syntax - Activate syntax extensions

VERSION

version 0.003

SYNOPSIS

# either
use syntax 'foo';

# or
use syntax foo => { ... };

# or
use syntax qw( foo bar ), baz => { ... };

DESCRIPTION

This module activates community provided syntax extensions to Perl. You pass it a feature name, and optionally a scalar with arguments, and the dispatching system will load and install the extension in your package.

The import arguments are parsed with Data::OptList. There are no standardised options. Please consult the documentation for the specific syntax feature to find out about possible configuration options.

The passed in feature names are simply transformed: function becomes Syntax::Feature::Function and foo_bar would become Syntax::Feature::FooBar.

METHODS

import

syntax->import( @spec );

This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified feature handlers for the calling package.

import_into

syntax->import_into( $into, @spec );

Same as "import", but performs the setup in $into instead of the calling package.

RECOMMENDED FEATURES

SEE ALSO

Syntax::Feature::Function, Devel::Declare
