Class::MOP::Method - Method Meta Object
version 2.2203
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 Class::MOP::Method instance, followed
by a hash of options.
The options are:
- •
- name
The method name (without a package name). This is required if $code is a
coderef.
- •
- package_name
The package name for the method. This is 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)
- 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.
