Module-Generic-v1.6.0

Changes for version v1.6.0 - 2026-07-03

  • New features
    • Added Module::Generic::_subinfo(), a pure-Perl introspection helper built on the core B module. It returns detailed information about a subroutine, including its short and fully-qualified names, package, source file and line, prototype, whether it is anonymous, a closure or an XSUB, together with a hash reference exposing the same information by name.
    • Added Module::Generic::_subname() as a lightweight convenience wrapper around _subinfo(), returning only the short subroutine name.
  • Improvements
    • Refactored Module::Generic::Number so that number representation is fully decoupled from formatting. Formatting state is now maintained by Module::Generic::Number::Format, reducing the memory footprint of Number objects that are used only as numeric values.
    • Improved clone() handling in Module::Generic::Number so cloned objects also clone and update their associated formatter, preserving formatting state across numeric operations.
    • Expanded the regression test suite for subroutine introspection, covering named subroutines, methods, anonymous subroutines, closures, prototypes, automatic caller detection, and compatibility across Perl releases from v5.16 through v5.40.
  • Bug fixes
    • Fixed format_bytes() so formatting failures are no longer masked by string concatenation, allowing errors from clone() and format() to propagate correctly.
    • Fixed the class-method path of clone() in both Module::Generic::Number and Module::Generic::Number::Format so the supplied numeric value is correctly propagated to the new object.
