This is a task for the Aspect module.

after { $_[0]->return_value( '('. $_[0]->return_value. ')' ) } call 'SomePackage::value';

Sure you could do this with Hook::LexWrap, in fact that is how Aspect does it. But this is easier. The main difference is that you can select entire groups of methods, using a pointcut language.

Say you wanted to parenthesize not one method, but all MyPackage methods, except the constructor:

after { $_[0]->return_value( '('. $_[0]->return_value. ')' ) } call qr/^SomePackage/ & !call qr/^SomePackage::new/;

Unfortunately you cannot match by attributes or inheritance yet.

And if you want to create a reusable aspect (like the Wormhole):

# creating an aspect package Aspect::Library::Parenthesize; use Aspect; use base 'Aspect::Modular'; sub get_advice { after { $_[0]->return_value( '('. $_[0]->return_value. ')' ) } pop; } # using the new aspect package main; use Aspect; use SomePackage; aspect Parenthesize => call 'SomePackage::value' & !cflow 'HatesParentheses::run' & cflow 'LikesParentheses::run';

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.
