296 Class::MOP::Package - Package Meta Object
300 The Package Protocol provides an abstraction of a Perl 5 package. A
301 package is basically namespace, and this module provides methods for
302 looking at and changing that namespace's symbol table.
308 =item B<< Class::MOP::Package->initialize($package_name) >>
310 This method creates a new C<Class::MOP::Package> instance which
311 represents specified package. If an existing metaclass object exists
312 for the package, that will be returned instead.
314 =item B<< Class::MOP::Package->reinitialize($package) >>
316 This method forcibly removes any existing metaclass for the package
317 before calling C<initialize>. In contrast to C<initialize>, you may
318 also pass an existing C<Class::MOP::Package> instance instead of just
319 a package name as C<$package>.
321 Do not call this unless you know what you are doing.
323 =item B<< $metapackage->name >>
325 This is returns the package's name, as passed to the constructor.
327 =item B<< $metapackage->namespace >>
329 This returns a hash reference to the package's symbol table. The keys
330 are symbol names and the values are typeglob references.
332 =item B<< $metapackage->add_package_symbol($variable_name, $initial_value) >>
334 This method accepts a variable name and an optional initial value. The
335 C<$variable_name> must contain a leading sigil.
337 This method creates the variable in the package's symbol table, and
338 sets it to the initial value if one was provided.
340 =item B<< $metapackage->get_package_symbol($variable_name) >>
342 Given a variable name, this method returns the variable as a reference
343 or undef if it does not exist. The C<$variable_name> must contain a
346 =item B<< $metapackage->has_package_symbol($variable_name) >>
348 Returns true if there is a package variable defined for
349 C<$variable_name>. The C<$variable_name> must contain a leading sigil.
351 =item B<< $metapackage->remove_package_symbol($variable_name) >>
353 This will remove the package variable specified C<$variable_name>. The
354 C<$variable_name> must contain a leading sigil.
356 =item B<< $metapackage->remove_package_glob($glob_name) >>
358 Given the name of a glob, this will remove that glob from the
359 package's symbol table. Glob names do not include a sigil. Removing
360 the glob removes all variables and subroutines with the specified
363 =item B<< $metapackage->list_all_package_symbols($type_filter) >>
365 This will list all the glob names associated with the current
366 package. These names do not have leading sigils.
368 You can provide an optional type filter, which should be one of
369 'SCALAR', 'ARRAY', 'HASH', or 'CODE'.
371 =item B<< $metapackage->get_all_package_symbols($type_filter) >>
373 This works much like C<list_all_package_symbols>, but it returns a
374 hash reference. The keys are glob names and the values are references
375 to the value for that name.
377 =item B<< Class::MOP::Package->meta >>
379 This will return a L<Class::MOP::Class> instance for this class.
