NAME

       Sub::Exporter::ForMethods - helper routines for using Sub::Exporter to build methods

VERSION

       version 0.091970

SYNOPSIS

       In an exporting library:

	 package Method::Builder;

	 use Sub::Exporter::ForMethods qw(method_installer);

	 use Sub::Exporter -setup => {
	   exports   => [ method => '_method_generator' ],
	   installer => method_installer,
	 };

	 sub _method_generator {
	   my ($self, $name, $arg, $col) = @_;
	   return sub { ... };
	 };

       In an importing library:

	 package Vehicle::Autobot;
	 use Method::Builder method => { -as => 'transform' };

DESCRIPTION

       The synopsis section, above, looks almost indistinguishable from any other use of Sub::Exporter, apart from the use of "method_installer".
       It is nearly indistinguishable in behavior, too.  The only change is that subroutines exported from Method::Builder into named slots in
       Vehicle::Autobot will be wrapped in a subroutine called "Vehicle::Autobot::transform".  This will insert a named frame into stack traces to
       aid in debugging.

       More importantly (for the author, anyway), they will not be removed by namespace::autoclean.  This makes the following code work:

	 package MyLibrary;

	 use Math::Trig qw(tan);	 # uses Exporter.pm
	 use String::Truncate qw(trunc); # uses Sub::Exporter's defaults

	 use Sub::Exporter::ForMethods qw(method_installer);
	 use Mixin::Linewise { installer => method_installer }, qw(read_file);

	 use namespace::autoclean;

	 ...

	 1;

       After MyLibrary is compiled, "namespace::autoclean" will remove "tan" and "trunc" as foreign contaminants, but will leave "read_file" in
       place.  It will also remove "method_installer", an added win.

EXPORTS

       Sub::Exporter::ForMethods offers only one routine for export, and it may also be called by its full package name:

   method_installer
       This routine returns an installer suitable for use as the "installer" argument to Sub::Exporter.  It updates the "@to_export" argument to
       wrap all code that will be installed by name in a named subroutine, then passes control to the default Sub::Exporter installer.
