NAME

My::Symdump - Rummage around in name spaces.

SYNOPSIS

use lib qw{ tools };
use My::Symdump;

say for My::Symdump->find_public_methods( 'Date::Manip::Date' );

DESCRIPTION

This module is private to the Date-ManipX-Almanac package. It is unsupported, and can be changed or revoked at any time without notice.

This module contains whatever symbol table ad-hocery is needed to maintain the Date::ManipX::Almanac package.

METHODS

This class supports the following methods:

dmd_public_interface

This is just a wrapper for

My::Symdump->find_public_methods( 'Date::Manip::Date' )

which tweaks the results to conform to the documented interface. As of this writing (and Date::Manip::Date 6.85) the tweaks are:

• remove 'dclone'

find_public_methods

say My::Symdump->find_public_methods( 'Date::Manip::Date' );
my $hash = My::Symdump->find_public_methods( 'Date::Manip::Date' );

This static method takes a module name as its argument. That module is loaded, and it and its parents (if any) are scanned for public methods. These are defined as methods whose name contains at least one lower-case character and does not begin with an underscore ('_').

If called in list context, the names are returned, sorted in lexical order.

If called in scalar context, the return is a reference to a hash of the names of public methods, with the associated value being the name space that defines the method.

SEE ALSO

Devel::Symdump, which does the heavy lifting.

SUPPORT

This module is unsupported, and can be modified or revoked at any time.
