NAME

6       Class::MOP::Method - Method Meta Object
7

VERSION

DESCRIPTION

12       The Method Protocol is very small, since methods in Perl 5 are just
13       subroutines in a specific package. We provide a very basic
14       introspection interface.
15

METHODS

17       Class::MOP::Method->wrap($code, %options)
18           This is the constructor. It accepts a method body in the form of
19           either a code reference or a Class::MOP::Method instance, followed
20           by a hash of options.
21
22           The options are:
23
24           •       name
25
26                   The method name (without a package name). This is required
27                   if $code is a coderef.
28
29           •       package_name
30
31                   The package name for the method. This is required if $code
32                   is a coderef.
33
34           •       associated_metaclass
35
36                   An optional Class::MOP::Class object. This is the metaclass
37                   for the method's class.
38
39       $metamethod->clone(%params)
40           This makes a shallow clone of the method object. In particular,
41           subroutine reference itself is shared between all clones of a given
42           method.
43
44           When a method is cloned, the original method object will be
45           available by calling "original_method" on the clone.
46
47       $metamethod->body
48           This returns a reference to the method's subroutine.
49
50       $metamethod->name
51           This returns the method's name.
52
53       $metamethod->package_name
54           This returns the method's package name.
55
56       $metamethod->fully_qualified_name
57           This returns the method's fully qualified name (package name and
58           method name).
59
60       $metamethod->associated_metaclass
61           This returns the Class::MOP::Class object for the method, if one
62           exists.
63
64       $metamethod->original_method
65           If this method object was created as a clone of some other method
66           object, this returns the object that was cloned.
67
68       $metamethod->original_name
69           This returns the method's original name, wherever it was first
70           defined.
71
72           If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this
73           method returns the name from the first method in the chain of
74           clones.
75
76       $metamethod->original_package_name
77           This returns the method's original package name, wherever it was
78           first defined.
79
80           If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this
81           method returns the package name from the first method in the chain
82           of clones.
83
84       $metamethod->original_fully_qualified_name
85           This returns the method's original fully qualified name, wherever
86           it was first defined.
87
88           If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this
89           method returns the fully qualified name from the first method in
90           the chain of clones.
91
92       $metamethod->is_stub
93           Returns true if the method is just a stub:
94
95             sub foo;
96
97       $metamethod->attach_to_class($metaclass)
98           Given a Class::MOP::Class object, this method sets the associated
99           metaclass for the method. This will overwrite any existing
100           associated metaclass.
101
102       $metamethod->detach_from_class
103           Removes any associated metaclass object for the method.
104
105       $metamethod->execute(...)
106           This executes the method. Any arguments provided will be passed on
107           to the method itself.
108
109       Class::MOP::Method->meta
110           This will return a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class.
111
112           It should also be noted that Class::MOP will actually bootstrap
113           this module by installing a number of attribute meta-objects into
114           its metaclass.
