As seen in the L, you specify the extension via the C parameter. Available meta classes are: =head1 PARAMETERS =head2 provides This points to a hashref that uses C for the keys and C for the values. The method will be added to the object itself and do what you want. =head2 curries This points to a hashref that uses C for the keys and has two choices for the value: You can supply C<< {method => [ @args ]} >> for the values. The method will be added to the object itself (always using C<@args> as the beginning arguments). Another approach to curry a method provider is to supply a coderef instead of an arrayref. The code ref takes C<$self>, C<$body>, and any additional arguments passed to the final method. # ... curries => { grep => { times_with_day => sub { my ($self, $body, $datetime) = @_; $body->($self, sub { $_->ymd eq $datetime->ymd }); } } } # ... $obj->times_with_day(DateTime->now); # takes datetime argument, checks day =head1 METHOD PROVIDERS =over =item L Common numerical operations. =item L Common methods for string operations. =item L Methods for incrementing and decrementing a counter attribute. =item L Common methods for boolean values. =item L Common methods for hash references. =item L Common methods for inspecting hash references. =item L Common methods for array references. =item L Common list methods for array references. =back =head1 CAVEAT This is an early release of this module. Right now it is in great need of documentation and tests in the test suite. However, we have used this module to great success at C<$work> where it has been tested very thoroughly and deployed into a major production site. I plan on getting better docs and tests in the next few releases, but until then please refer to the few tests we do have and feel free email and/or message me on irc.perl.org if you have any questions. =head1 TODO We need tests and docs badly. =head1 BUGS All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to cpan-RT. =head1 AUTHOR Stevan Little Estevan@iinteractive.comE B Robert (rlb3) Boone Paul (frodwith) Driver Shawn (Sartak) Moore Chris (perigrin) Prather Robert (phaylon) Sedlacek Tom (dec) Lanyon Yuval Kogman Jason May Cory (gphat) Watson Florian (rafl) Ragwitz Evan Carroll Jesse (doy) Luehrs =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2007-2009 by Infinity Interactive, Inc.
