NAME

syntax - Activate syntax extensions

VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

# eitheruse syntax 'foo';# oruse syntax foo => { ... };# oruse 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 withData::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 becomesSyntax::Feature::Function andfoo_bar would becomeSyntax::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.
