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

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.
