This module provides several utilities aimed at facilitating "overloading" of prototyped functions. They all handle C<5.10>'s C<_> prototype. =head1 FUNCTIONS =cut my %sigils = qw/SCALAR $ ARRAY @ HASH % GLOB * CODE &/; my %reftypes = reverse %sigils; sub _check_ref { my ($a, $p) = @_; my $r; if (!defined $a || !defined($r = reftype $a)) { # not defined or plain scalar croak 'Got ' . ((defined $a) ? 'a plain scalar' : 'undef') . ' where a reference was expected'; } croak 'Unexpected ' . $r . ' reference' unless exists $sigils{$r} and $p =~ /\Q$sigils{$r}\E/; return $r; } sub _clean_msg { my ($msg) = @_; $msg =~ s/(?:\s+called)?\s+at\s+.*$//s; return $msg; } =head2 C Flattens the array C<@args> according to the prototype C<$proto>. When C<@args> is what C<@_> is after calling a subroutine with prototype C<$proto>, C returns the list of what C<@_> would have been if there were no prototype. It croaks if the arguments can't possibly match the required prototype, e.g. when a reference type is wrong or when not enough elements were provided. =cut sub flatten { my $proto = shift; return @_ unless defined $proto; my @args; while ($proto =~ /(\\?)(\[[^\]]+\]|[^\];])/g) { my $p = $2; if ($1) { my $a = shift; my $r = _check_ref $a, $p; push @args, $r eq 'SCALAR' ? $$a : ($r eq 'ARRAY' ? @$a : ($r eq 'HASH' ? %$a : ($r eq 'GLOB' ? *$a : &$a # _check_ref ensures this must be a code ref ) ) ); } elsif ($p =~ /[\@\%]/) { push @args, @_; last; } else { croak 'Not enough arguments to match this prototype' unless @_; push @args, shift; } } return @args; } =head2 C Generates a wrapper that calls the function C<$name> with a prototyped argument list. That is, the wrapper's arguments should be what C<@_> is when you define a subroutine with the same prototype as C<$name>. my $a = [ 0 .. 2 ]; my $push = wrap 'CORE::push'; $push->($a, 3, 4); # returns 3 + 2 = 5 and $a now contains 0 .. 4 You can force the use of a specific prototype. In this case, C<$name> must be a hash reference that holds exactly one key / value pair, the key being the function name and the value the prototpye that should be used to call it. my $push = wrap { 'CORE::push' => '\@$' }; # only pushes 1 arg Others arguments are seen as key / value pairs that are meant to tune the code generated by L. Valid keys are : =over 4 =item C<< ref => $func >> Specifies the function used in the generated code to test the reference type of scalars. Defaults to C<'ref'>. You may also want to use C. =item C<< wrong_ref => $code >> The code executed when a reference of incorrect type is encountered. The result of this snippet is also the result of the generated code, hence it defaults to C<'undef'>. It's a good place to C or C too. =item C<< sub => $bool >> Encloses the code into a C block. Default is true. =item C<< compile => $bool >> Makes L compile the code generated and return the resulting code reference. Be careful that in this case C must be a fully qualified function name. Defaults to true, but turned off when C is false. =back For example, this allows you to recall into C and C by using the C<\&@> prototype : my $grep = wrap { 'CORE::grep' => '\&@' }; sub mygrep (&@) { $grep->(@_) } # the prototypes are intentionally different =cut sub _wrap { my ($name, $proto, $i, $args, $cr, $opts) = @_; while ($proto =~ s/(\\?)(\[[^\]]+\]|[^\];])//) { my ($ref, $p) = ($1, $2); $p = $1 if $p =~ /^\[([^\]]+)\]/; my $cur = '$_[' . $i .

That is, C<@args> should be what C<@_> is when you call a subroutine with C<$name> as prototype. You can still force the prototype by passing C<< { $name => $proto } >> as the first argument. my $a = [ ]; recall { 'CORE::push' => '\@$' }, $a, 1, 2, 3; # $a just contains 1 It's implemented in terms of L, and hence calls C at each run. If you plan to recall several times, consider using L instead. =cut sub recall { my $wrap = eval { wrap shift }; croak _clean_msg $@ if $@; return $wrap->(@_); } =head1 EXPORT The functions L, L and L are only exported on request, either by providing their name or by the C<':funcs'> and C<':all'> tags. =cut use base qw/Exporter/; use vars qw/@EXPORT @EXPORT_OK %EXPORT_TAGS/; @EXPORT = (); %EXPORT_TAGS = ( 'funcs' => [ qw/flatten wrap recall/ ] ); @EXPORT_OK = map { @$_ } values %EXPORT_TAGS; $EXPORT_TAGS{'all'} = [ @EXPORT_OK ]; =head1 DEPENDENCIES L, L (core modules since perl 5), L (since 5.7.3). =head1 AUTHOR Vincent Pit, C<< >>, L.
