NAME¶
syntax - Activate syntax extensions
VERSION¶
version 0.004
SYNOPSIS¶
# either
use syntax 'foo';
# or
use syntax foo => { ... };
# or
use syntax qw( foo bar ), baz => { ... };
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.
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.
The passed in feature names are simply transformed: "function" becomes
Syntax::Feature::Function and "foo_bar" would become
"Syntax::Feature::FooBar".
METHODS¶
import¶
syntax->import( @spec );
This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified feature
handlers for the calling package.
import_into¶
syntax->import_into( $into, @spec );
Same as "import", but performs the setup in $into instead of the
calling package.
unimport¶
syntax->unimport( @features );
This method will trigger uninstallations of the @features from the calling
package.
unimport_from¶
syntax->unimport_from( $from, @features );
Same as "unimport", but will uninstall the @features from $from.
RECOMMENDED FEATURES¶
- •
- Syntax::Feature::Function
Activates functions with parameter signatures.
