NAME

       syntax - Activate syntax extensions

VERSION

       version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

	   # either
	   use syntax 'foo';

	   # or
	   use syntax foo => { ... };

	   # or
	   use syntax qw( foo bar ), baz => { ... };

DESCRIPTION

       This module activates community provided syntax extensions to Perl. You pass it a feature name, and optionally a scalar with arguments, and
       the dispatching system will load and install the extension in your package.

       The import arguments are parsed with Data::OptList. There are no standardised options. Please consult the documentation for the specific
       syntax feature to find out about possible configuration options.

       The passed in feature names are simply transformed: "function" becomes Syntax::Feature::Function and "foo_bar" would become
       "Syntax::Feature::FooBar".

METHODS

   import
	   syntax->import( @spec );

       This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified feature handlers for the calling package.

   import_into
	   syntax->import_into( $into, @spec );

       Same as "import", but performs the setup in $into instead of the calling package.

   unimport
	   syntax->unimport( @features );

       This method will trigger uninstallations of the @features from the calling package.

   unimport_from
	   syntax->unimport_from( $from, @features );

       Same as "unimport", but will uninstall the @features from $from.

RECOMMENDED FEATURES

       o   Syntax::Feature::Function

	   Activates functions with parameter signatures.

SEE ALSO

       Syntax::Feature::Function, Devel::Declare
