NAME

6       Test2::Util::Stash - Utilities for manipulating stashes and globs.
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This is a collection of utilities for manipulating and inspecting
10       package stashes and globs.
11

EXPORTS

13       $stash = get_stash($package)
14           Gets the package stash. This is the same as "$stash =
15           \%Package::Name::".
16
17       $sym_spec = parse_symbol($symbol)
18       $sym_spec = parse_symbol($symbol, $package)
19           Parse a symbol name, and return a hashref with info about the
20           symbol.
21
22           $symbol can be a simple name, or a fully qualified symbol name. The
23           sigil is optional, and "&" is assumed if none is provided. If
24           $symbol is fully qualified, and $package is also provided, then the
25           package of the symbol must match the $package.
26
27           Returns a structure like this:
28
29               return {
30                   name    => 'BAZ',
31                   sigil   => '$',
32                   type    => 'SCALAR',
33                   symbol  => '&Foo::Bar::BAZ',
34                   package => 'Foo::Bar',
35               };
36
37       $glob_ref = get_glob($symbol)
38       $glob_ref = get_glob($symbol, $package)
39           Get a glob ref. Arguments are the same as for "parse_symbol".
40
41       $ref = get_symbol($symbol)
42       $ref = get_symbol($symbol, $package)
43           Get a reference to the symbol. Arguments are the same as for
44           "parse_symbol".
45
46       $ref = purge_symbol($symbol)
47       $ref = purge_symbol($symbol, $package)
48           Completely remove the symbol from the package symbol table.
49           Arguments are the same as for "parse_symbol". A reference to the
50           removed symbol is returned.
51
52       $sig = slot_to_sig($slot)
53           Convert a slot (like 'SCALAR') to a sigil (like '$').
54
55       $slot = sig_to_slot($sig)
56           Convert a sigil (like '$') to a slot (like 'SCALAR').
