Class::MOP::Method(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Class::MOP::Method(3pm)
NAME
Class::MOP::Method - Method Meta Object
VERSION
version 2.2200
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)
This is the constructor. It accepts a method body in the form of either a code
reference or a Class::MOP::Method instance, followed by a hash of options.
The options are:
o name
The method name (without a package name). This is required if $code is a
coderef.
o package_name
The package name for the method. This is required if $code is a coderef.
o associated_metaclass
An optional Class::MOP::Class object. This is the metaclass for the method's
class.
$metamethod->clone(%params)
This makes a shallow clone of the method object. In particular, subroutine reference
itself is shared between all clones of a given method.
When a method is cloned, the original method object will be available by calling
"original_method" on the clone.
$metamethod->body
This returns a reference to the method's subroutine.
$metamethod->name
This returns the method's name.
$metamethod->package_name
This returns the method's package name.
$metamethod->fully_qualified_name
This returns the method's fully qualified name (package name and method name).
$metamethod->associated_metaclass
This 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, this returns
the object that was cloned.
$metamethod->original_name
This returns the method's original name, wherever it was first defined.
If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method returns the name
from the first method in the chain of clones.
$metamethod->original_package_name
This returns the method's original package name, wherever it was first defined.
If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method returns the
package name from the first method in the chain of clones.
$metamethod->original_fully_qualified_name
This returns the method's original fully qualified name, wherever it was first
defined.
If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method returns the fully
qualified name from the first method in the chain of clones.
$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, this method sets the associated metaclass for the
method. This will overwrite any existing associated metaclass.
$metamethod->detach_from_class
Removes any associated metaclass object for the method.
$metamethod->execute(...)
This executes the method. Any arguments provided will be passed on to the method
itself.
Class::MOP::Method->meta
This will return a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class.
It should also be noted that Class::MOP will actually bootstrap this module by
installing a number of attribute meta-objects into its metaclass.
