Class::MOP::Method - Method Meta Object
version 2.2201
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.
- 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 the Class::MOP::Method manpage instance, followed
by a hash of options.
The options are:
- $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.
- $metamethod-name >>$metamethod->name
-
This returns the method's name.
- $metamethod-package_name >>$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).
- $metamethod-associated_metaclass >>$metamethod->associated_metaclass
-
This returns the the Class::MOP::Class manpage 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 the Class::MOP::Class manpage 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 the Class::MOP::Class manpage instance for this class.
It should also be noted that the Class::MOP manpage will actually bootstrap
this module by installing a number of attribute meta-objects into its
metaclass.
