e94260da 10Package::Stash - routines for manipulating stashes
f4979588 11
12=head1 SYNOPSIS
13
e94260da 14 my $stash = Package::Stash->new('Foo');
683542f5 15 $stash->add_package_symbol('%foo', {bar => 1});
16 # $Foo::foo{bar} == 1
17 $stash->has_package_symbol('$foo') # false
18 my $namespace = $stash->namespace;
19 *{ $namespace->{foo} }{HASH} # {bar => 1}

21=head1 DESCRIPTION
22
683542f5 23Manipulating stashes (Perl's symbol tables) is occasionally necessary, but
24incredibly messy, and easy to get wrong. This module hides all of that behind a
25simple API.
26
56a29840 27NOTE: Most methods in this class require a variable specification that includes
28a sigil. If this sigil is absent, it is assumed to represent the IO slot.
29
683542f5 30=head1 METHODS
31
32=cut
33
34=head2 new $package_name
35
e94260da 36Creates a new C<Package::Stash> object, for the package given as the only
683542f5 37argument.

c61010aa 101=head2 add_package_symbol $variable $value %opts
683542f5 102
103Adds a new package symbol, for the symbol given as C<$variable>, and optionally
104gives it an initial value of C<$value>. C<$variable> should be the name of
105variable including the sigil, so
106
e94260da 107 Package::Stash->new('Foo')->add_package_symbol('%foo')
683542f5 108
109will create C<%Foo::foo>.
110
c61010aa 111Valid options (all optional) are C<filename>, C<first_line_num>, and
112C<last_line_num>.
113
114C<$opts{filename}>, C<$opts{first_line_num}>, and C<$opts{last_line_num}> can
115be used to indicate where the symbol should be regarded as having been defined.
4ada57e0 116Currently these values are only used if the symbol is a subroutine ('C<&>'
c61010aa 117sigil) and only if C<$^P & 0x10> is true, in which case the special C<%DB::sub>
118hash is updated to record the values of C<filename>, C<first_line_num>, and
119C<last_line_num> for the subroutine. If these are not passed, their values are
120inferred (as much as possible) from C<caller> information.
4ada57e0 121
122This is especially useful for debuggers and profilers, which use C<%DB::sub> to
123determine where the source code for a subroutine can be found. See
124L<http://perldoc.perl.org/perldebguts.html#Debugger-Internals> for more
125information about C<%DB::sub>.
