<\/a> <\/h2>\nnew $package_name<\/b>
Creates a new “Package::Stash” object, for the package given as the only argument.<\/p>\n
name<\/b>
Returns the name of the package that this object represents.<\/p>\n
namespace<\/b>
Returns the raw stash itself.<\/p>\n
add_symbol $variable $value %opts<\/b>
Adds a new package symbol, for the symbol given as $variable, and optionally gives it an initial value of $value. $variable should be the name of variable including the sigil, so<\/p>\n
Package::Stash\u2212>new(‘Foo’)\u2212>add_symbol(‘%foo’)<\/p>\n
will create %Foo::foo.<\/p>\n
Valid options (all optional) are “filename”, “first_line_num”, and “last_line_num”.<\/p>\n
$opts{filename}, $opts{first_line_num}, and $opts{last_line_num} can be used to indicate where the symbol should be regarded as having been defined. Currently these values are only used if the symbol is a subroutine (\u2019”&”\u2019 sigil) and only if “$^P & 0x10” is true, in which case the special %DB::sub hash is updated to record the values of “filename”, “first_line_num”, and “last_line_num” for the subroutine. If these are not passed, their values are inferred (as much as possible) from “caller” information.<\/p>\n
remove_glob $name<\/b>
Removes all package variables with the given name, regardless of sigil.<\/p>\n
has_symbol $variable<\/b>
Returns whether or not the given package variable (including sigil) exists.<\/p>\n
get_symbol $variable<\/b>
Returns the value of the given package variable (including sigil).<\/p>\n
get_or_add_symbol $variable<\/b>
Like “get_symbol”, except that it will return an empty hashref or arrayref if the variable doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n
remove_symbol $variable<\/b>
Removes the package variable described by $variable (which includes the sigil); other variables with the same name but different sigils will be untouched.<\/p>\n
list_all_symbols $type_filter<\/b>
Returns a list of package variable names in the package, without sigils. If a “type_filter” is passed, it is used to select package variables of a given type, where valid types are the slots of a typeglob (\u2019 SCALAR<\/small> \u2019, \u2019 CODE<\/small> \u2019, \u2019 HASH<\/small> \u2019, etc). Note that if the package contained any “BEGIN” blocks, perl will leave an empty typeglob in the “BEGIN” slot, so this will show up if no filter is used (and similarly for “INIT”, “END”, etc).<\/p>\n
get_all_symbols $type_filter<\/b>
Returns a hashref, keyed by the variable names in the package. If $type_filter is passed, the hash will contain every variable of that type in the package as values, otherwise, it will contain the typeglobs corresponding to the variable names (basically, a clone of the stash).<\/p>\n
This is especially useful for debuggers and profilers, which use %DB::sub to determine where the source code for a subroutine can be found. See for more information about %DB::sub.<\/p>\n\n\n| <\/td>\n | \n \u2022<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | <\/td>\n | \n Class::MOP::Package<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n This module is a factoring out of code that used to live here<\/p>\n \n\n| <\/td>\n | \n \u2022<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | <\/td>\n | \n Prior to perl 5.10, scalar slots are only considered to exist if they are defined<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n This is due to a shortcoming within perl itself.
