NAME
Test2::Util::Stash - Utilities for manipulating stashes and globs.
DESCRIPTION
This is a collection of utilities for manipulating and inspecting
package stashes and globs.
EXPORTS
$stash = get_stash($package)
Gets the package stash. This is the same as "$stash =
\%Package::Name::".
$sym_spec = parse_symbol($symbol)
$sym_spec = parse_symbol($symbol, $package)
Parse a symbol name, and return a hashref with info about the
symbol.
$symbol can be a simple name, or a fully qualified symbol name. The
sigil is optional, and "&" is assumed if none is provided. If
$symbol is fully qualified, and $package is also provided, then the
package of the symbol must match the $package.
Returns a structure like this:
return {
name => 'BAZ',
sigil => '$',
type => 'SCALAR',
symbol => '&Foo::Bar::BAZ',
package => 'Foo::Bar',
};
$glob_ref = get_glob($symbol)
$glob_ref = get_glob($symbol, $package)
Get a glob ref. Arguments are the same as for "parse_symbol".
$ref = get_symbol($symbol)
$ref = get_symbol($symbol, $package)
Get a reference to the symbol. Arguments are the same as for
"parse_symbol".
$ref = purge_symbol($symbol)
$ref = purge_symbol($symbol, $package)
Completely remove the symbol from the package symbol table.
Arguments are the same as for "parse_symbol". A reference to the
removed symbol is returned.
$sig = slot_to_sig($slot)
Convert a slot (like 'SCALAR') to a sigil (like '$').
$slot = sig_to_slot($sig)
Convert a sigil (like '$') to a slot (like 'SCALAR').
