NAME

Syntax::Feature::Method - Provide a method keyword

VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

    use syntax 'method';

    method foo ($n) { $n * $self->bar }

    my $method = method ($msg) { 
        print "$msg\n";
    };

DESCRIPTION

This module will install the Method::Signatures::Simple syntax extension into the requesting namespace.

You can import the keyword multiple times under different names with different options:

    use syntax 
        'method',
        'method' => { 
            -as         => 'classmethod',
            -invocant   => '$class',
        };

OPTIONS

-as

    use syntax method => { -as => 'provide' };

    provide addition ($n, $m) { $n + $m }

The -as keyword allows you to install the keyword under a different name. This is especially useful if you want a separate keyword for class methods with a different invocant.

-invocant

    use syntax method => { -invocant => '$me' };

    method sum { $me->foo + $me->bar }

Allows you to set a different default invocant. Useful if you want to import a second keyword for class methods that has a $class invocant.

METHODS

install

Called by the syntax dispatcher to install the exntension into the requesting package.
