SYNOPSIS

12           my $meta     = Class->meta;
13           my $overload = $meta->get_overloaded_operator('+');
14
15           if ( $overload->has_method_name ) {
16               print 'Method for + is ', $overload->method_name, "\n";
17           }
18           else {
19               print 'Overloading for + is implemented by ',
20                   $overload->coderef_name, " sub\n";

DESCRIPTION

24       This class provides meta information for overloading in classes and
25       roles.
26

INHERITANCE

28       "Class::MOP::Overload" is a subclass of Class::MOP::Object.
29

METHODS

31   Class::MOP::Overload->new(%options)
32       This method creates a new "Class::MOP::Overload" object. It accepts a
33       number of options:
34
35       ·   operator
36
37           This is a string that matches an operator known by the overload
38           module, such as "" or "+". This is required.
39
40       ·   method_name
41
42           The name of the method which implements the overloading. Note that
43           this does not need to actually correspond to a real method, since
44           it's okay to declare a not-yet-implemented overloading.
45
46           Either this or the "coderef" option must be passed.
47
48       ·   method
49
50           A Class::MOP::Method object for the method which implements the
51           overloading.
52
53           This is optional.
54
55       ·   coderef
56
57           A coderef which implements the overloading.
58
59           Either this or the "method_name" option must be passed.
60
61       ·   coderef_package
62
63           The package where the coderef was defined.
64
65           This is required if "coderef" is passed.
66
67       ·   coderef_name
68
69           The name of the coderef. This can be "__ANON__".
70
71           This is required if "coderef" is passed.
72
73       ·   associated_metaclass
74
75           A Class::MOP::Module object for the associated class or role.
76
77           This is optional.
78
79   $overload->operator
80       Returns the operator for this overload object.
81
82   $overload->method_name
83       Returns the method name that implements overloading, if it has one.
84
85   $overload->has_method_name
86       Returns true if the object has a method name.
87
88   $overload->method
89       Returns the Class::MOP::Method that implements overloading, if it has
90       one.
91
92   $overload->has_method
93       Returns true if the object has a method.
94
95   $overload->coderef
96       Returns the coderef that implements overloading, if it has one.
97
98   $overload->has_coderef
99       Returns true if the object has a coderef.
100
101   $overload->coderef_package
102       Returns the package for the coderef that implements overloading, if it
103       has one.
104
105   $overload->has_coderef
106       Returns true if the object has a coderef package.
107
108   $overload->coderef_name
109       Returns the sub name for the coderef that implements overloading, if it
110       has one.
111
112   $overload->has_coderef_name
113       Returns true if the object has a coderef name.
114
115   $overload->is_anonymous
116       Returns true if the overloading is implemented by an anonymous coderef.
117
118   $overload->associated_metaclass
119       Returns the Class::MOP::Module (class or role) that is associated with
120       the overload object.
121
122   $overload->clone
123       Clones the overloading object, setting "original_overload" in the
124       process.
125
126   $overload->original_overload
127       For cloned objects, this returns the Class::MOP::Overload object from
128       which they were cloned. This can be used to determine the source of an
129       overloading in a class that came from a role, for example.
