package Package::Stash; use strict; use warnings; # ABSTRACT: routines for manipulating stashes use Carp qw(confess); use Scalar::Util qw(reftype); use Symbol; =head1 SYNOPSIS my $stash = Package::Stash->new('Foo'); $stash->add_package_symbol('%foo', {bar => 1}); # $Foo::foo{bar} == 1 $stash->has_package_symbol('$foo') # false my $namespace = $stash->namespace; *{ $namespace->{foo} }{HASH} # {bar => 1} =head1 DESCRIPTION Manipulating stashes (Perl's symbol tables) is occasionally necessary, but incredibly messy, and easy to get wrong. This module hides all of that behind a simple API. NOTE: Most methods in this class require a variable specification that includes a sigil. If this sigil is absent, it is assumed to represent the IO slot. =method new $package_name Creates a new C object, for the package given as the only argument. =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my ($package) = @_; my $namespace; { no strict 'refs'; # supposedly this caused a bug in earlier perls, but I can't reproduce # it, so re-enabling the caching $namespace = \%{$package . '::'}; } return bless { 'package' => $package, 'namespace' => $namespace, }, $class; } =method name Returns the name of the package that this object represents. =cut sub name { return $_[0]->{package}; } =method namespace Returns the raw stash itself. =cut sub namespace { return $_[0]->{namespace}; } { my %SIGIL_MAP = ( '$' => 'SCALAR', '@' => 'ARRAY', '%' => 'HASH', '&' => 'CODE', '' => 'IO', ); sub _deconstruct_variable_name { my ($self, $variable) = @_; (defined $variable && length $variable) || confess "You must pass a variable name"; my $sigil = substr($variable, 0, 1, ''); if (exists $SIGIL_MAP{$sigil}) { return ($variable, $sigil, $SIGIL_MAP{$sigil}); } else { return ("${sigil}${variable}", '', $SIGIL_MAP{''}); } } } =method add_package_symbol $variable $value %opts Adds a new package symbol, for the symbol given as C<$variable>, and optionally gives it an initial value of C<$value>. C<$variable> should be the name of variable including the sigil, so Package::Stash->new('Foo')->add_package_symbol('%foo') will create C<%Foo::foo>. Valid options (all optional) are C, C, and C. C<$opts{filename}>, C<$opts{first_line_num}>, and C<$opts{last_line_num}> can be used to indicate where the symbol should be regarded as having been defined. Currently these values are only used if the symbol is a subroutine ('C<&>' sigil) and only if C<$^P & 0x10> is true, in which case the special C<%DB::sub> hash is updated to record the values of C, C, and C for the subroutine. If these are not passed, their values are inferred (as much as possible) from C information. This is especially useful for debuggers and profilers, which use C<%DB::sub> to determine where the source code for a subroutine can be found. See L for more information about C<%DB::sub>. =cut sub _valid_for_type { my $self = shift; my ($value, $type) = @_; if ($type eq 'HASH' || $type eq 'ARRAY' || $type eq 'IO' || $type eq 'CODE') { return reftype($value) eq $type; } else { my $ref = reftype($value); return !defined($ref) || $ref eq 'SCALAR' || $ref eq 'REF' || $ref eq 'LVALUE'; } } sub add_package_symbol { my ($self, $variable, $initial_value, %opts) = @_; my ($name, $sigil, $type) = ref $variable eq 'HASH' ? @{$variable}{qw[name sigil type]} : $self->_deconstruct_variable_name($variable); my $pkg = $self->name; if (@_ > 2) { $self->_valid_for_type($initial_value, $type) || confess "$initial_value is not of type $type"; # cheap fail-fast check for PERLDBf_SUBLINE and '&' if ($^P and $^P & 0x10 && $sigil eq '&') { my $filename = $opts{filename}; my $first_line_num = $opts{first_line_num}; (undef, $filename, $first_line_num) = caller if not defined $filename; my $last_line_num = $opts{last_line_num} || ($first_line_num ||= 0); # http://perldoc.perl.org/perldebguts.html#Debugger-Internals $DB::sub{$pkg .
