=head1 NAME

Class::MOP::Method - Method Meta Object

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Method Protocol is very small, since methods in Perl 5 are just
subroutines in a specific package. We provide a very basic
introspection interface.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item B<< Class::MOP::Method->wrap($code, %options) >>

This is the constructor. It accepts a subroutine reference and a hash
of options.

The options are:

=over 8

=item * name

The method name (without a package name). This is required.

=item * package_name

The package name for the method. This is required.

=item * associated_metaclass

An optional L<Class::MOP::Class> object. This is the metaclass for the
method's class.

=back

=item B<< $metamethod->clone(%params) >>

This makes a shallow clone of the method object. In particular,
subroutine reference itself is shared between all clones of a given
method.

When a method is cloned, the original method object will be available
by calling C<original_method> on the clone.

=item B<< $metamethod->body >>

This returns a reference to the method's subroutine.

=item B<< $metamethod->name >>

This returns the method's name

=item B<< $metamethod->package_name >>

This returns the method's package name.

=item B<< $metamethod->fully_qualified_name >>

This returns the method's fully qualified name (package name and
method name).

=item B<< $metamethod->associated_metaclass >>

This returns the L<Class::MOP::Class> object for the method, if one
exists.

=item B<< $metamethod->original_method >>

If this method object was created as a clone of some other method
object, this returns the object that was cloned.

=item B<< $metamethod->original_name >>

This returns the method's original name, wherever it was first
defined.

If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method
returns the name from the I<first> method in the chain of clones.

=item B<< $metamethod->original_package_name >>

This returns the method's original package name, wherever it was first
defined.

If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method
returns the package name from the I<first> method in the chain of
clones.

=item B<< $metamethod->original_fully_qualified_name >>

This returns the method's original fully qualified name, wherever it
was first defined.

If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method
returns the fully qualified name from the I<first> method in the chain
of clones.

=item B<< $metamethod->attach_to_class($metaclass) >>

Given a L<Class::MOP::Class> object, this method sets the associated
metaclass for the method. This will overwrite any existing associated
metaclass.

=item B<< $metamethod->detach_from_class >>

Removes any associated metaclass object for the method.

=item B<< $metamethod->execute(...) >>

This executes the method. Any arguments provided will be passed on to
the method itself.

=item B<< Class::MOP::Method->meta >>

This will return a L<Class::MOP::Class> instance for this class.

It should also be noted that L<Class::MOP> will actually bootstrap
this module by installing a number of attribute meta-objects into its
metaclass.
