I would like to do this stuff on runtime. Is there documentation about this stuff ?
If you are designing the objects, then look at Class::Prototyped.
my $cp = Class::Prototyped->new();
my $mirror = $cp->reflect();
$mirror->addSlots(
field1 => 'foo',
sub1 => sub {
print "this is sub1 printing field1: '".$_[0]->field1."'\n";
},
);
$mirror->deleteSlot('sub1');
There are others, too, like Class::Object or Class::Decorator that do things like this in various ways.
If you didn't design the object, then you could use Class::Adapter to wrap the object while adding your own methods.
As more of a hack, if you really need to do it on the fly, you can rebless the object into a dynamically generated subclass that has the methods you want. E.g.
# Create an object of Some::Class
my $obj = Some::Class->new();
$obj->foo(); # where foo() is a method of Some::Class
# Create the new "class" by assigning @ISA and a method in the new nam
+espace
@Some::Class::Extended::ISA = qw/Some::Class/;
*Some::Class::Extended::bar = sub { my $self = shift; print "Hello, Ba
+r" };
# Rebless the object to the new class
bless $obj, 'Some::Class::Extended';
$obj->foo; # From Some::Class
$obj->bar; # From Some::Class::Extended

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>

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).
