Package::MoreUtil - Package-related utilities
This document describes version 0.592 of Package::MoreUtil (from Perl distribution Package-MoreUtil), released on 2019-12-25.
use Package::MoreUtil qw( package_exists list_package_contents list_package_subs list_subpackages ); print "Package Foo::Bar exists" if package_exists("Foo::Bar"); my %content = list_package_contents("Foo::Bar"); my @subnames = list_package_subs("Foo::Bar"); my @subpkg = list_subpackages("Foo::Bar"); my @allsubpkg = list_subpackages("Foo::Bar", 1); # recursive
DEPRECATION NOTICE: This module is deprecated in favor of Package::Stash and Package::Util::Lite.
Return true if package "exists". By "exists", it means that the package has been defined by package statement or some entries have been created in the symbol table (e.g. $Foo::var = 1; will make the Foo package "exist").
package
$Foo::var = 1;
Foo
This function can be used e.g. for checking before aliasing one package to another. Or to casually check whether a module has been loaded.
Return a hash containing package contents. For example:
( sub1 => \&Foo::Bar::sub1, sub2 => \&Foo::Bar::sub2, '%h1' => \%Foo::Bar::h1, '@a1' => \@Foo::Bar::a1, ... )
This module won't list subpackages. Use list_subpackages() for that.
Return a list containing subroutine names in package $pkg.
$pkg
List subpackages, e.g.:
( "Foo::Bar::Baz", "Foo::Bar::Qux", ... )
If $recursive is true, will also list subpackages of subpackages, and so on.
You can recurse from the top, e.g.:
list_subpackages("", 1);
