NAME

6       pmfunc - cat out a function from a module
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Given a fully-qualified function, this program opens up the file and
10       attempts to cat out the source for that function.
11

EXAMPLES

13           $ pmfunc Cwd::getcwd
14           sub getcwd
15           {
16               abs_path('.');
17           }
18

RESTRICTIONS

20       Only subroutines that are defined in the normal fashion are seen, since
21       a simple pattern-match is what does the extraction.  Those loaded other
22       ways, such as via AUTOLOAD, typeglob aliasing, or in an "eval", will
23       all necessarily be missed.
24
25       This is mostly here for people who are too lazy to type
26
27           sed '/^sub getcwd/,/}/p' `pmpath Cwd`
28       or
29           perl -ne 'print if /^sub\s+getcwd\b/ .. /}/' `pmpath Cwd`
