SYNOPSIS

13           package Foo;
14           use Moose;
15
16           # mark overloads as methods and wipe other non-methods
17           use MooseX::MarkAsMethods autoclean => 1;
18
19           # define overloads, etc as normal
20           use overload '""' => sub { shift->stringify };
21
22           package Baz;
23           use Moose::Role;
24           use MooseX::MarkAsMethods autoclean => 1;
25
26           # overloads defined in a role will "just work" when the role is
27           # composed into a class; they MUST use the anon-sub style invocation
28           use overload '""' => sub { shift->stringify };
29
30           # additional methods generated outside Class::MOP/Moose can be marked, too
31           use constant foo => 'bar';
32           __PACKAGE__->meta->mark_as_method('foo');
33
34           package Bar;
35           use Moose;
36
37           # order is important!
38           use namespace::autoclean;
39           use MooseX::MarkAsMethods;
40
41           # ...

DESCRIPTION

44       MooseX::MarkAsMethods allows one to easily mark certain functions as
45       Moose methods.  This will allow other packages such as
46       namespace::autoclean to operate without blowing away your overloads.
47       After using MooseX::MarkAsMethods your overloads will be recognized by
48       Class::MOP as being methods, and class extension as well as composition
49       from roles with overloads will "just work".
50
51       By default we check for overloads, and mark those functions as methods.
52
53       If "autoclean =&gt; 1" is passed to import on using this module, we
54       will invoke namespace::autoclean to clear out non-methods.
55

TRAITS APPLIED

57       Using this package causes a trait to be applied to your metaclass (for
58       both roles and classes), that provides a mark_as_method() method.  You
59       can use this to mark newly generated methods at runtime (e.g. during
60       class composition) that some other package has created for you.
61
62       mark_as_method() is invoked with one or more names to mark as a method.
63       We die on any error (e.g. name not in symbol table, already a method,
64       etc).  e.g.
65
66           __PACKAGE__->meta->mark_as_method('newly_generated');
67
68       e.g. say you have some sugar from another package that creates
69       accessors of some sort; you could mark them as methods via a method
70       modifier:
71
72           # called as __PACKAGE__->foo_generator('name', ...)
73           after 'foo_generator' => sub {
74
75               shift->meta->mark_as_method(shift);
76           };
77

IMPLICATIONS FOR ROLES

79       Using MooseX::MarkAsMethods in a role will cause Moose to track and
80       treat your overloads like any other method defined in the role, and
81       things will "just work".  That's it.
82
83       Except...  note that due to the way overloads, roles, and Moose work,
84       you'll need to use the coderef or anonymous subroutine approach to
85       overload declaration, or things will not work as you expect.  Remember,
86       we're talking about _methods_ here, so we need to make it easy for
87       overload to find the right method.  The easiest (and supported) way to
88       do this is to create an anonymous sub to wrap the overload method.
89
90       That is, this will work:
91
92           # note method resolution, things will "just work"
93           use overload '""' => sub { shift->stringify };
94
95       ...and this will not:
96
97           use overload '""' => 'stringify';
98
99       ...and will result in an error message like:
100
101           # wah-wah
102           Can't resolve method "???" overloading """" in package "overload"
103

CAVEATS

105   Roles
106       See the "IMPLICATIONS FOR ROLES" section, above.
107
108   meta->mark_as_method()
109       You almost certainly don't need or want to do this.  CMOP/Moose are
110       fairly good about determining what is and what isn't a method, but not
111       perfect.  Before using this method, you should pause and think about
112       why you need to.
113
114   namespace::autoclean
115       As currently implemented, we run our "method maker" at the end of the
116       calling package's compile scope (B::Hooks::EndOfScope).  As
117       namespace::autoclean does the same thing, it's important that if
118       namespace::autoclean is used that it be used BEFORE
119       MooseX::MarkAsMethods, so that its end_of_scope block is run after
120       ours.
121
122       e.g.
123
124           # yes!
125           use namespace::autoclean;
126           use MooseX::MarkAsMethods;
127
128           # no -- overloads will be removed
129           use MooseX::MarkAsMethods;
130           use namespace::autoclean;
131
132       The easiest way to invoke this module and clean out non-methods without
133       having to worry about ordering is:
134
135           use MooseX::MarkAsMethods autoclean => 1;
