NAME

Tangence::Meta::Method - structure representing one Tangence method

DESCRIPTION

This data structure object stores information about one Tangence class method. Once constructed, such objects are immutable.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

            

              
              
$method = Tangence::Meta::Method->new( %args )
            
          

Returns a new instance initialised by the given arguments.

class => Tangence::Meta::Class

Reference to the containing class

name => STRING

Name of the method

arguments => ARRAY

Optional ARRAY reference containing arguments as Tangence::Meta::Argument references.

ret => STRING

Optional string giving the return value type as a Tangence::Meta::Type reference
