133 Class::MOP::Method - Method Meta Object
137 The Method Protocol is very small, since methods in Perl 5 are just
138 subroutines in a specific package. We provide a very basic
139 introspection interface.
145 =item B<< Class::MOP::Method->wrap($code, %options) >>
147 This is the constructor. It accepts a method body in the form of
148 either a code reference or a L<Class::MOP::Method> instance, followed
149 by a hash of options.
157 The method name (without a package name). This is required if C<$code>
162 The package name for the method. This is required if C<$code> is a
165 =item * associated_metaclass
167 An optional L<Class::MOP::Class> object. This is the metaclass for the
172 =item B<< $metamethod->clone(%params) >>
174 This makes a shallow clone of the method object. In particular,
175 subroutine reference itself is shared between all clones of a given
178 When a method is cloned, the original method object will be available
179 by calling C<original_method> on the clone.
181 =item B<< $metamethod->body >>
183 This returns a reference to the method's subroutine.
185 =item B<< $metamethod->name >>
187 This returns the method's name
189 =item B<< $metamethod->package_name >>
191 This returns the method's package name.
193 =item B<< $metamethod->fully_qualified_name >>
195 This returns the method's fully qualified name (package name and
198 =item B<< $metamethod->associated_metaclass >>
200 This returns the L<Class::MOP::Class> object for the method, if one
203 =item B<< $metamethod->original_method >>
205 If this method object was created as a clone of some other method
206 object, this returns the object that was cloned.
208 =item B<< $metamethod->original_name >>
210 This returns the method's original name, wherever it was first
213 If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method
214 returns the name from the I<first> method in the chain of clones.
216 =item B<< $metamethod->original_package_name >>
218 This returns the method's original package name, wherever it was first
221 If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method
222 returns the package name from the I<first> method in the chain of
225 =item B<< $metamethod->original_fully_qualified_name >>
227 This returns the method's original fully qualified name, wherever it
230 If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method
231 returns the fully qualified name from the I<first> method in the chain
234 =item B<< $metamethod->attach_to_class($metaclass) >>
236 Given a L<Class::MOP::Class> object, this method sets the associated
237 metaclass for the method. This will overwrite any existing associated
240 =item B<< $metamethod->detach_from_class >>
242 Removes any associated metaclass object for the method.
244 =item B<< $metamethod->execute(...) >>
246 This executes the method. Any arguments provided will be passed on to
249 =item B<< Class::MOP::Method->meta >>
251 This will return a L<Class::MOP::Class> instance for this class.
253 It should also be noted that L<Class::MOP> will actually bootstrap
254 this module by installing a number of attribute meta-objects into its
