FUNCTIONS

gen_meta_for_module(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Generate metadata for a module.

This function can be used to automatically generate Rinci metadata for a "traditional" Perl module which do not have any. Currently, only a plain and generic package and function metadata are generated.

The resulting metadata will be put in %::SPEC. Functions that already have metadata in the %SPEC will be skipped. The metadata will have C property set to true, C set to C, and C set to C ["any" => {schema=>'any', pos=>0, greedy=>1}]}>. In the future, function's arguments (and other properties) will be parsed from POD (and other indicators).

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• exclude_subs => array|str (default: "^_")

  If specified, exclude these subs.

  By default, exclude private subroutines (subroutines which have _ prefix in their names).

• include_subs => array|str

  If specified, only include these subs.

• load* => bool (default: 1)

  Whether to load the module using require().

• module* => str

  The module name.

Return value:

Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
