MRO::Define - Define your own method resolution order
# define your mro use mro; use MRO::Define; MRO::Define::register_mro(your_mro => sub { ... }); # use your mro somewhere else use mro 'your_mro';
With recent versions of perl it is possible to change the method resolution order (mro) of a given class either by using use mro as shown in the synopsis, or by using the mro::set_mro.
use mro
mro::set_mro
Perl itself comes with two MROs by default. The traditional Perl default MRO (depth first search, DFS) and C3 MRO.
This module allows you to define custom method resolution orders in addition to those perl already has.
This function allows registering of custom method resolution orders. Your MRO needs to have a $name as well as a $resolve_callback that will get invoked when a method trying to be resolved using your MRO. The resolve callback is expected to return an array reference of package names that will be used for the method lookup.
$name
$resolve_callback
