NAME

Test::Stream::PackageUtil - Utils for manipulating package symbol tables.

DESCRIPTION

Collection of utilities Test::Stream and friends use to manipulate package symbol tables. This is primarily useful when trackign things like $TODO vars. It is also used for exporting and meta-construction of object methods.

EXPORTS

Both exports are exported by default, you cannot pick and choose. These work equally well as functions and class-methods. These will not work as object methods.

$ref = package_sym($PACKAGE, $SLOT => $NAME)

Get the reference to a symbol in the package. $PACKAGE should be the package name. $SLOT should be a valid typeglob slot (Supported slots: HASH SCALAR ARRAY IO FORMAT CODE). $NAME should be the name of the symbol.

package_purge_sym($PACKAGE, $SLOT => $NAME, $SLOT2 => $NAME2, ...)

This is used to remove symbols from a package. The first argument, $PACKAGE, should be the name of the package. The remaining arguments should be key/value pairs. The key in each pair should be the typeglob slot to clear (Supported slots: HASH SCALAR ARRAY IO FORMAT CODE). The value in the pair should be the name of the symbol to remove.
