We provide a very basic introspection interface. .SH "METHODS" .IX Header "METHODS" .ie n .IP "\fBClass::MOP::Method\->wrap($code, \fB%options\fB)\fR" 4 .el .IP "\fBClass::MOP::Method\->wrap($code, \f(CB%options\fB)\fR" 4 .IX Item "Class::MOP::Method->wrap($code, %options)" This is the constructor. It accepts a method body in the form of either a code reference or a Class::MOP::Method instance, followed by a hash of options. .Sp The options are: .RS 4 .IP "* name" 8 .IX Item "name" The method name (without a package name). This is required if \f(CW$code\fR is a coderef. .IP "* package_name" 8 .IX Item "package_name" The package name for the method. This is required if \f(CW$code\fR is a coderef. .IP "* associated_metaclass" 8 .IX Item "associated_metaclass" An optional Class::MOP::Class object. This is the metaclass for the method's class. .RE .RS 4 .RE .IP "\fB$metamethod\->clone(%params)\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->clone(%params)" This makes a shallow clone of the method object. In particular, subroutine reference itself is shared between all clones of a given method. .Sp When a method is cloned, the original method object will be available by calling \f(CW\*(C`original_method\*(C'\fR on the clone. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->body\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->body" This returns a reference to the method's subroutine. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->name\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->name" This returns the method's name .IP "\fB$metamethod\->package_name\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->package_name" This returns the method's package name. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->fully_qualified_name\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->fully_qualified_name" This returns the method's fully qualified name (package name and method name). .IP "\fB$metamethod\->associated_metaclass\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->associated_metaclass" This returns the Class::MOP::Class object for the method, if one exists. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->original_method\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->original_method" If this method object was created as a clone of some other method object, this returns the object that was cloned. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->original_name\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->original_name" This returns the method's original name, wherever it was first defined. .Sp If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method returns the name from the \fIfirst\fR method in the chain of clones. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->original_package_name\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->original_package_name" This returns the method's original package name, wherever it was first defined. .Sp If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method returns the package name from the \fIfirst\fR method in the chain of clones. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->original_fully_qualified_name\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->original_fully_qualified_name" This returns the method's original fully qualified name, wherever it was first defined. .Sp If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method returns the fully qualified name from the \fIfirst\fR method in the chain of clones. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->attach_to_class($metaclass)\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->attach_to_class($metaclass)" Given a Class::MOP::Class object, this method sets the associated metaclass for the method. This will overwrite any existing associated metaclass. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->detach_from_class\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->detach_from_class" Removes any associated metaclass object for the method. .IP "\fB$metamethod\->execute(...)\fR" 4 .IX Item "$metamethod->execute(...)" This executes the method. Any arguments provided will be passed on to the method itself. .IP "\fBClass::MOP::Method\->meta\fR" 4 .IX Item "Class::MOP::Method->meta" This will return a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class. .Sp It should also be noted that Class::MOP will actually bootstrap this module by installing a number of attribute meta-objects into its metaclass. .SH "AUTHORS" .IX Header "AUTHORS" Stevan Little .SH "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" Copyright 2006\-2009 by Infinity Interactive, Inc. .PP .PP This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
