NAME

Package::Pkg - Handy package munging utilities

VERSION

version 0.0012

SYNOPSIS

First, import a new keyword: pkg

use Package::Pkg;

Subroutine installation:

pkg->install( sub { ... } => 'MyPackage::myfunction' );

# myfunction in MyPackage is now useable
MyPackage->myfunction( ... );

Subroutine exporting:

package MyPackage;

use Package::Pkg;

sub this { ... }

# Setup an exporter for MyPackage, exporting 'this' and 'that'
pkg->export( that => sub { ... }, 'this' );

package main;

use MyPackage;

this( ... );

that( ... );

DESCRIPTION

Package::Pkg is a collection of useful, miscellaneous package-munging utilities. Functionality is accessed via the imported pkg keyword, although you can also invoke functions directly from the package (Package::Pkg)

USAGE

install

Install a subroutine, similar to Sub::Install (and actually using that module to do the dirty work)

$package = package( <part>, [ <part>, ..., <part> ] )

Return a namespace composed by joining each <part> with ::

Superfluous/redundant :: are automatically cleaned up and stripped from the resulting $package

If the first part leads with a ::, the the calling package will be prepended to $package

pkg->package( 'Xyzzy', 'Apple::', '::Banana' ) # 'Xyzzy::Apple::Banana' 

pkg->package( 'Xyzzy', 'Apple::' ) # 'Xyzzy::Apple::

package Cherry;
pkg->package( '::', 'Apple::', '::Banana' ) # 'Cherry::Apple::Banana'

pkg->package( '::Xyzzy::A::B' ) # 'Cherry::Xyzzy::A::B'

export( ... )

Setup an importer in the calling package
