syntax - Activate syntax extensions
version 0.004
# either use syntax 'foo'; # or use syntax foo => { ... }; # or use syntax qw( foo bar ), baz => { ... };
This module activates community provided syntax extensions to Perl. You pass it a feature name, and optionally a scalar with arguments, and the dispatching system will load and install the extension in your package.
The import arguments are parsed with Data::OptList. There are no standardised options. Please consult the documentation for the specific syntax feature to find out about possible configuration options.
The passed in feature names are simply transformed: function becomes Syntax::Feature::Function and foo_bar would become Syntax::Feature::FooBar.
function
foo_bar
Syntax::Feature::FooBar
syntax->import( @spec );
This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified feature handlers for the calling package.
syntax->import_into( $into, @spec );
Same as "import", but performs the setup in $into instead of the calling package.
$into
syntax->unimport( @features );
This method will trigger uninstallations of the @features from the calling package.
@features
syntax->unimport_from( $from, @features );
Same as "unimport", but will uninstall the @features from $from.
$from
Syntax::Feature::Function
Activates functions with parameter signatures.
Syntax::Feature::Function, Devel::Declare
