NAME

Exporter::Declare::Specs - Import argument parser for Exporter::Declare

DESCRIPTION

Import arguments cna get complicated. All arguments are assumed to be exports unless they have a - or : prefix. The prefix may denote a tag, a boolean option, or an option that takes the next argument as a value. In addition almost all these can be negated with the ! prefix.

This class takes care of parsing the import arguments and generating data structures that can be used to find what the exporter needs to know.

METHODS

$class->new( $package, @args )

Create a new instance and parse @args.

$specs->package()

Get the name of the package that should do the exporting.

$hashref = $specs->config()

Get the configuration hash, All specified options and tags are the keys. The value will be true/false/undef for tags/boolean options. For options that take arguments the value will be that argument. When a config hash is provided to a tag it will be the value.

$hashref = $specs->exports()

Get the exports hash. The keys are names of the exports. Values are an array containing the export, item specific config hash, and arguments array. This is generally not intended for direct consumption.

$arrayref = $specs->excludes()

Get the arrayref containing the names of all excluded exports.

$specs->export( $package )

Do the actual exporting. All exports will be injected into $package.
