📖 DESCRIPTION

The Method Protocol is very small, since methods in Perl 5 are just subroutines in a specific package. We provide a very basic introspection interface.

⚙️ METHODS

• Class::MOP::Method->wrap($code, %options) — 🏗️ Constructor. Accepts a method body as either a code reference or a Class::MOP::Method instance, followed by a hash of options.
  
  Options:
  • name — 🏷️ The method name (without package name). Required if $code is a coderef.
  • package_name — 📦 The package name for the method. Required if $code is a coderef.
  • associated_metaclass — 🔗 An optional Class::MOP::Class object. This is the metaclass for the method's class.
• $metamethod->clone(%params) — 📋 Makes a shallow clone of the method object. The subroutine reference itself is shared between all clones. The original method object is available via original_method on the clone.
• $metamethod->body — 🔍 Returns a reference to the method's subroutine.
• $metamethod->name — 🏷️ Returns the method's name.
• $metamethod->package_name — 📦 Returns the method's package name.
• $metamethod->fully_qualified_name — 🔗 Returns the method's fully qualified name (package name and method name).
• $metamethod->associated_metaclass — 🏛️ Returns the Class::MOP::Class object for the method, if one exists.
• $metamethod->original_method — 🧬 If this method object was created as a clone of some other method object, returns the object that was cloned.
• $metamethod->original_name — 📛 Returns the method's original name, wherever it was first defined. For a chain of clones, returns the name from the first method in the chain.
• $metamethod->original_package_name — 📦 Returns the method's original package name, wherever it was first defined. For a chain of clones, returns the package name from the first method in the chain.
• $metamethod->original_fully_qualified_name — 🔗 Returns the method's original fully qualified name, wherever it was first defined. For a chain of clones, returns the fully qualified name from the first method in the chain.
• $metamethod->is_stub — 🧪 Returns true if the method is just a stub: sub foo;
• $metamethod->attach_to_class($metaclass) — 🔗 Given a Class::MOP::Class object, sets the associated metaclass for the method. Overwrites any existing associated metaclass.
• $metamethod->detach_from_class — 🔓 Removes any associated metaclass object for the method.
• $metamethod->execute(...) — ▶️ Executes the method. Any arguments provided are passed on to the method itself.
• Class::MOP::Method->meta — 🪞 Returns a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class. Class::MOP bootstraps this module by installing a number of attribute meta-objects into its metaclass.
