Class::MOP::Method − Method Meta Object
version 2.2206
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.
