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.
The options are:
• name
The method name (without a package name). This is required if $code is a coderef.
• package_name
The package name for the method. This is required if $code is a coderef.
• associated_metaclass
An optional Class::MOP::Class object. This is the metaclass for the method's class.
$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.
When a method is cloned, the original method object will be available by calling "original_method" on
the clone.
$metamethod->body
This returns a reference to the method's subroutine.
$metamethod->name
This returns the method's name.
$metamethod->package_name
This returns the method's package name.
$metamethod->fully_qualified_name
This returns the method's fully qualified name (package name and method name).
$metamethod->associated_metaclass
This returns the Class::MOP::Class object for the method, if one exists.
$metamethod->original_method
If this method object was created as a clone of some other method object, this returns the object
that was cloned.
$metamethod->original_name
This returns the method's original name, wherever it was first defined.
If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method returns the name from the first
method in the chain of clones.
$metamethod->original_package_name
This returns the method's original package name, wherever it was first defined.
If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method returns the package name from
the first method in the chain of clones.
$metamethod->original_fully_qualified_name
This returns the method's original fully qualified name, wherever it was first defined.
If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this method returns the fully qualified name
from the first method in the chain of clones.
$metamethod->is_stub
Returns true if the method is just a stub:
sub foo;
$metamethod->attach_to_class($metaclass)
Given a Class::MOP::Class object, this method sets the associated metaclass for the method. This will
overwrite any existing associated metaclass.
$metamethod->detach_from_class
Removes any associated metaclass object for the method.
$metamethod->execute(...)
This executes the method. Any arguments provided will be passed on to the method itself.
Class::MOP::Method->meta
This will return a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class.
It should also be noted that Class::MOP will actually bootstrap this module by installing a number of
attribute meta-objects into its metaclass.
