In list context, C returns a list of name/object pairs in the order of declaration (allowing duplicates), suitable for putting into a hash. In scalar context, C returns a hash reference. Using a flexible C interface, one can change exported helper functions names (I), words to link labels and values together (I), and the table of named classes to declare (I): use Object::Declare declarator => ['declare'], # list of declarators copula => { # list of words, or a map is => '', # from copula to label prefixes, are => '', # or to callback that e.g. turns has => sub { has => @_ }, # "has X" to "has is X" and # "X has 1" to "has is [X => 1]" }, aliases => { # list of label aliases: more => 'less', # turns "is more" into "is less" # and "more is 1" into "less is 1" }, mapping => { column => 'MyApp::Column', # class name to call ->new to param => sub { # arbitrary coderef also works bless(\@_, 'MyApp::Param'); }, }; After the declarator block finishes execution, all helper functions are removed from the package. Same-named functions (such as C<&is> and C<&are>) that existed before the declarator's execution are restored correctly. =head1 NOTES If you export the declarator to another package via C<@EXPORT>, be sure to export all mapping keys as well. For example, this will work for the example above: our @EXPORT = qw( declare column param ); But this will not: our @EXPORT = qw( declare ); The copula are not turned into functions, so there is no need to export them. =head1 AUTHORS Audrey Tang Ecpan@audreyt.orgE =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2006, 2007 by Audrey Tang .
