NAME

PerlX::MethodCallWithBlock - A Perl extension to allow a bare block after method call

SYNOPSIS

use PerlX::MethodCallWithBlock;

Foo->bar(1, 2, 3) {
  say "and a block";
};

DESCRIPTION

PerlX::MethodCallWithBlock is A Perl extension that extends Perl syntax to allow one bare block follows normal methods calls.

It translate:

Foo->bar(1, 2, 3) {
  say "and a block";
};

Into:

Foo->bar(1, 2, 3, sub {
  say "and a block";
});

The body of the Foo::bar method sees it as the very last argument.

NOTICE

This version is released as a proof that it can be done. However, the internally parsing code for translating codes are very fragile at this moment.

It's very possible that your code breaks after you re-indent it. You should send me that piece of code as a failing test if you find such cases.
