syntax - Activate syntax extensions


NAME

syntax - Activate syntax extensions


VERSION

version 0.004


SYNOPSIS

    # either
    use syntax 'foo';
    # or
    use syntax foo => { ... };
    # or
    use syntax qw( foo bar ), baz => { ... };


DESCRIPTION

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 the Data::OptList manpage. 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 the Syntax::Feature::Function manpage and foo_bar would become Syntax::Feature::FooBar.


METHODS

import

    syntax->import( @spec );

This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified feature handlers for the calling package.

import_into

    syntax->import_into( $into, @spec );

Same as import, but performs the setup in $into instead of the calling package.

unimport

    syntax->unimport( @features );

This method will trigger uninstallations of the @features from the calling package.

unimport_from

    syntax->unimport_from( $from, @features );

Same as unimport, but will uninstall the @features from $from.


RECOMMENDED FEATURES


SEE ALSO

the Syntax::Feature::Function manpage, the Devel::Declare manpage
