( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

If you do this, you may want to provide a new can() method for people to use:

# can - Help UNIVERSAL::can() cope with our AUTOLOADed methods sub can { my ($self, $method) = @_; my $subref = $self->SUPER::can($method); return $subref if $subref; # can found it; it's a real method # Method doesn't currently exist; should it, though? return unless exists $self->{$method}; # Return an anon sub that will work when it's eventually called sub { my $self = $_[0]; # The method is being called. The real method may have been # created in the meantime; if so, don't call AUTOLOAD again my $subref = $self->SUPER::can($method); goto &$subref if $subref; $AUTOLOAD=$method; goto &AUTOLOAD }; }

(This one assumes that people will often call can() without intending to use the method ref it returns, and so it defers calling AUTOLOAD until someone goes to use it. Because of this, it needs a second check to see if someone else has already AUTOLOADed the desired method in the meantime.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
