Class::MOP::Package - Package Meta Object
This is an abstraction of a Perl 5 package, it is a superclass of Class::MOP::Class and provides all of the symbol table introspection methods.
Returns a metaclass for this package.
This will initialize a Class::MOP::Package instance which represents the package of $package_name.
This removes the old metaclass, and creates a new one in it's place. Do not use this unless you really know what you are doing, it could very easily make a very large mess of your program.
This is a read-only attribute which returns the package name for the given instance.
This returns a HASH reference to the symbol table. The keys of the HASH are the symbol names, and the values are typeglob references.
Given a $variable_name,
which must contain a leading sigil,
this method will create that variable within the package which houses the class.
It also takes an optional $initial_value,
which must be a reference of the same type as the sigil of the $variable_name implies.
This will return a reference to the package variable in $variable_name.
Returns true (1) if there is a package variable defined for $variable_name,
and false (0) otherwise.
This will attempt to remove the package variable at $variable_name.
This will attempt to remove the entire typeglob associated with $glob_name from the package.
This will list all the glob names associated with the current package. By inspecting the globs returned you can discern all the variables in the package.
By passing a $type_filter,
you can limit the list to only those which match the filter (either SCALAR,
ARRAY,
HASH or CODE).
Works exactly like list_all_package_symbols but returns a HASH of name => thing mapping instead of just an ARRAY of names.
