NAME
Data::Object::Role::Scalar - Scalar Object Role for Perl 5
VERSION
version 0.57
SYNOPSIS
use Data::Object::Role::Scalar;
DESCRIPTION
Data::Object::Role::Scalar provides routines for operating on Perl 5 scalar objects.
METHODS
data
# given $scalar
$scalar->data; # original value
The data method returns the original and underlying value contained by the object. This method is an alias to the detract method.
defined
# given $scalar
$scalar->defined; # 1
The defined method returns true if the object represents a value that meets the criteria for being defined, otherwise it returns false. This method returns a number object.
detract
# given $scalar
$scalar->detract; # original value
The detract method returns the original and underlying value contained by the object.
dump
# given $scalar
$scalar->dump;
The dump method returns returns a string representation of the object. This method returns a string value.
eq
# given $scalar
$scalar->eq; # exception thrown
This method is a consumer requirement but has no function and is not implemented. This method will throw an exception if called.
ge
# given $scalar
$scalar->ge; # exception thrown
This method is a consumer requirement but has no function and is not implemented. This method will throw an exception if called.
gt
# given $scalar
$scalar->gt; # exception thrown
This method is a consumer requirement but has no function and is not implemented. This method will throw an exception if called.
le
# given $scalar
$scalar->le; # exception thrown
This method is a consumer requirement but has no function and is not implemented. This method will throw an exception if called.
lt
# given $scalar
$scalar->lt; # exception thrown
This method is a consumer requirement but has no function and is not implemented. This method will throw an exception if called.
methods
# given $scalar
$scalar->methods;
The methods method returns the list of methods attached to object. This method returns an array value.
ne
# given $scalar
$scalar->ne; # exception thrown
This method is a consumer requirement but has no function and is not implemented. This method will throw an exception if called.
new
# given \12345
my $scalar = Data::Object::Scalar->new(\12345);
The new method expects a scalar reference and returns a new class instance.
# given $scalar
$scalar->print;
The print method outputs the value represented by the object to STDOUT and returns true. This method returns a number value.
roles
# given $scalar
$scalar->roles;
The roles method returns the list of roles attached to object. This method returns an array value.
say
# given $scalar
$scalar->say;
The say method outputs the value represented by the object appended with a newline to STDOUT and returns true. This method returns a Data::Object::Number object.
throw
# given $scalar
$scalar->throw;
The throw method terminates the program using the core die keyword, passing the object to the Data::Object::Exception class as the named parameter object
. If captured this method returns an exception value.
type
# given $scalar
$scalar->type; # SCALAR
The type method returns a string representing the internal data type object name. This method returns a string value.
