NAME

6       curry - Create automatic curried method call closures for any class or
7       object
8

SYNOPSIS

10         use curry;
11
12         my $code = $obj->curry::frobnicate('foo');
13
14       is equivalent to:
15
16         my $code = sub { $obj->frobnicate(foo => @_) };
17
18       Additionally,
19
20         use curry::weak;
21
22         my $code = $obj->curry::weak::frobnicate('foo');
23
24       is equivalent to:
25
26         my $code = do {
27           Scalar::Util::weaken(my $weak_obj = $obj);
28           sub {
29             return unless $weak_obj; # in case it already went away
30             $weak_obj->frobnicate(foo => @_)
31           };
32         };
33
34       If you want to pass a weakened copy of an object to a coderef, use the
35       $weak  package variable:
36
37        use curry::weak;
38
39        my $code = $self->$curry::weak(sub {
40         my ($self, @args) = @_;
41         print "$self must still be alive, because we were called (with @args)\n";
42        }, 'xyz');
43
44       which is much the same as:
45
46        my $code = do {
47         my $sub = sub {
48          my ($self, @args) = @_;
49          print "$self must still be alive, because we were called (with @args)\n";
50         };
51         Scalar::Util::weaken(my $weak_obj = $self);
52         sub {
53          return unless $weak_obj; # in case it already went away
54          $sub->($weak_obj, 'xyz', @_);
55         }
56        };
57
58       There's an equivalent - but somewhat less useful -  $curry  package
59       variable:
60
61        use curry;
62
63        my $code = $self->$curry::curry(sub {
64         my ($self, $var) = @_;
65         print "The stashed value from our ->something method call was $var\n";
66        }, $self->something('complicated'));
67
68       Both of these methods can also be used if your scalar is a method name,
69       rather than a coderef.
70
71        use curry;
72
73        my $code = $self->$curry::curry($methodname, $self->something('complicated'));
74

RATIONALE

76       How many times have you written
77
78         sub { $obj->something($some, $args, @_) }
79
80       or worse still needed to weaken it and had to check and re-check your
81       code to be sure you weren't closing over things the wrong way?
82
83       Right. That's why I wrote this.
