SYNOPSIS

12           # either
13           use syntax 'foo';
14
15           # or
16           use syntax foo => { ... };
17
18           # or
19           use syntax qw( foo bar ), baz => { ... };

DESCRIPTION

22       This module activates community provided syntax extensions to Perl. You
23       pass it a feature name, and optionally a scalar with arguments, and the
24       dispatching system will load and install the extension in your package.
25
26       The import arguments are parsed with Data::OptList. There are no
27       standardised options. Please consult the documentation for the specific
28       syntax feature to find out about possible configuration options.
29
30       The passed in feature names are simply transformed: "function" becomes
31       Syntax::Feature::Function and "foo_bar" would become
32       "Syntax::Feature::FooBar".
33

METHODS

35   import
36           syntax->import( @spec );
37
38       This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified
39       feature handlers for the calling package.
40
41   import_into
42           syntax->import_into( $into, @spec );
43
44       Same as "import", but performs the setup in $into instead of the
45       calling package.
46
47   unimport
48           syntax->unimport( @features );
49
50       This method will trigger uninstallations of the @features from the
51       calling package.
52
53   unimport_from
54           syntax->unimport_from( $from, @features );
55
56       Same as "unimport", but will uninstall the @features from $from.

60
61           Activates functions with parameter signatures.
