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

• Syntax::Feature::Function

  Activates functions with parameter signatures.
