DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to turn a class into a module that exports methods as functions that use an implicit singleton.

EXPORTS

as_function

as_function
  exports => \@methods,
  args    => \@args;

This wraps methods in a function that checks the first argument. If the argument is an instance of the class, then it assumes it is a normal method call. Otherwise it assumes it is a function call, and it calls the method with the singleton instance.

Note that this will not work properly on methods that take an instance of the class as the first argument.
