.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module activates community provided syntax extensions to Perl. You pass it
a feature name, and optionally a scalar with arguments, and the dispatching
system will load and install the extension in your package.
.PP
The import arguments are parsed with Data::OptList. There are no
standardised options. Please consult the documentation for the specific syntax
feature to find out about possible configuration options.
.PP
The passed in feature names are simply transformed: \f(CW\*(C`function\*(C'\fR becomes
Syntax::Feature::Function and \f(CW\*(C`foo_bar\*(C'\fR would become
\&\f(CW\*(C`Syntax::Feature::FooBar\*(C'\fR.

\&    syntax\->import( @spec );

.PP
This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified feature
handlers for the calling package.
.SS "import_into"
.IX Subsection "import_into"
.Vb 1
\&    syntax\->import_into( $into, @spec );

Same as \*(L"import\*(R", but performs the setup in \f(CW$into\fR instead of the calling
package.
.SS "unimport"
.IX Subsection "unimport"
.Vb 1
\&    syntax\->unimport( @features );
.Ve
.PP
This method will trigger uninstallations of the \f(CW@features\fR from the
calling package.

.IX Subsection "unimport_from"
.Vb 1
\&    syntax\->unimport_from( $from, @features );

Same as \*(L"unimport\*(R", but will uninstall the \f(CW@features\fR from \f(CW$from\fR.
