syntax(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation syntax(3)NAMEsyntax - Activate syntax extensions
VERSION
version 0.004
SYNOPSIS
# either
use syntax 'foo';
# or
use syntax foo => { ... };
# or
use syntax qw( foo bar ), baz => { ... };
DESCRIPTION
This module activates community provided syntax extensions to Perl. You
pass it a feature name, and optionally a scalar with arguments, and the
dispatching system will load and install the extension in your package.
The import arguments are parsed with Data::OptList. There are no
standardised options. Please consult the documentation for the specific
syntax feature to find out about possible configuration options.
The passed in feature names are simply transformed: "function" becomes
Syntax::Feature::Function and "foo_bar" would become
"Syntax::Feature::FooBar".
METHODS
import
syntax->import( @spec );
This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified
feature handlers for the calling package.
import_into
syntax->import_into( $into, @spec );
Same as "import", but performs the setup in $into instead of the
calling package.
unimport
syntax->unimport( @features );
This method will trigger uninstallations of the @features from the
calling package.
unimport_from
syntax->unimport_from( $from, @features );
Same as "unimport", but will uninstall the @features from $from.
RECOMMENDED FEATURES
ยท Syntax::Feature::Function
Activates functions with parameter signatures.

Syntax::Feature::Function, Devel::Declare
