This module lets you use parameter lists in your subroutines. Thanks to
-L<perlapi/PL_keyword_plugin> it works without source filters.

WARNING: This is my first attempt at writing L<XS code|perlxs> and I have
almost no experience with perl's internals. So while this module might
=head2 Customizing the generated keywords
-You can customize the names of the keywords injected in your package. To do that
-you pass a hash reference in the import list:
+You can customize the names of the keywords injected into your scope. To do
+that you pass a hash reference in the import list:
use Function::Parameters { proc => 'function', meth => 'method' }; # -or-
use Function::Parameters { proc => 'function' }; # -or-
- use Function::Parameters { meth => 'method' };
+ use Function::Parameters { meth => 'method' }; # etc.
The first line creates two keywords, C<proc> and C<meth> (for defining
functions and methods, respectively). The last two lines only create one
keyword. Generally the hash keys can be any identifiers you want while the
-values have to be either C<function>, C<method>, or a hash reference (see
-below). The difference between C<function> and C<method> is that C<method>s
-automatically L<shift|perlfunc/shift> their first argument into C<$self>.
+values have to be either C<function>, C<method>, C<classmethod> or a hash
+reference (see below). The difference between C<function> and C<method> is that
+C<method>s automatically L<shift|perlfunc/shift> their first argument into
+C<$self> (C<classmethod>s are similar but shift into C<$class>).
The following shortcuts are available:
=pod
+The following shortcuts are deprecated and may be removed from a future version
+of the module:
+
+ # DEPRECATED
use Function::Parameters 'foo';
# is equivalent to #
use Function::Parameters { 'foo' => 'function' };
=pod
+ # DEPRECATED
use Function::Parameters 'foo', 'bar';
# is equivalent to #
use Function::Parameters { 'foo' => 'function', 'bar' => 'method' };
+That is, if you want to pass arguments to L<Function::Parameters>, use a
+hashref, not a list of strings.
+
You can customize things even more by passing a hashref instead of C<function>
or C<method>. This hash can have the following keys:
Valid values: strings that look like a scalar variable. Any function created by
this keyword will automatically L<shift|perlfunc/shift> its first argument into
-a local variable with the name specified here.
+a local variable whose name is specified here.
+
+=item C<attrs>
+
+Valid values: strings that are valid source code for attributes. Any value
+specified here will be inserted as a subroutine attribute in the generated
+code. Thus:
+
+ use Function::Parameters { sub_l => { attrs => ':lvalue' } };
+ sub_l foo() {
+ ...
+ }
+
+turns into
+
+ sub foo :lvalue {
+ ...
+ }

-=head2 Other advanced stuff
+=head2 Syntax and generated code
Normally, Perl subroutines are not in scope in their own body, meaning the
-parser doesn't know the name C<foo> or its prototype while processing
-C<sub foo ($) { foo $bar[1], $bar[0]; }>, parsing it as
+parser doesn't know the name C<foo> or its prototype while processing the body
+of C<sub foo ($) { foo $bar[1], $bar[0]; }>, parsing it as
C<$bar-E<gt>foo([1], $bar[0])>. Yes. You can add parens to change the
interpretation of this code, but C<foo($bar[1], $bar[0])> will only trigger
a I<foo() called too early to check prototype> warning. This module attempts
Syntactically, these new parameter lists live in the spot normally occupied
by L<prototypes|perlsub/"Prototypes">. However, you can include a prototype by
specifying it as the first attribute (this is syntactically unambiguous
-because normal attributes have to start with a letter).
+because normal attributes have to start with a letter while a prototype starts
+with C<(>).
+
+As an example, the following declaration uses every feature available
+(subroutine name, parameter list, prototype, attributes, and implicit
+C<$self>):
+
+ method foo($x, $y, @z) :($;$@) :lvalue :Banana(2 + 2) {
+ ...
+ }
+
+And here's what it turns into:
+
+ sub foo ($;$@); sub foo ($;$@) :lvalue :Banana(2 + 2) { my $self = shift; my ($x, $y, @z) = @_;
+ ...
+ }
+
+Another example:
+
+ my $coderef = fun ($p, $q) :(;$$)
+ :lvalue
+ :Gazebo((>:O)) {
+ ...
+ };
+
+And the generated code:
+
+ my $coderef = sub (;$$) :lvalue :Gazebo((>:O)) { my ($p, $q) = @_;
+ ...
+ };
+
+=head2 Wrapping Function::Parameters
If you want to wrap L<Function::Parameters>, you just have to call its
C<import> method. It always applies to the file that is currently being parsed
-and its effects are lexical (i.e. it works like L<warnings> or L<strict>);
-
- package Some::Wrapper;
- use Function::Parameters ();
- sub import {
- Function::Parameters->import;
- # or Function::Parameters->import(@other_import_args);
- }
+and its effects are lexical (i.e. it works like L<warnings> or L<strict>):
+
+ package Some::Wrapper;
+ use Function::Parameters ();
+ sub import {
+ Function::Parameters->import;
+ # or Function::Parameters->import(@other_import_args);
