universal::can

UNIVERSAL::can(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 UNIVERSAL::can(3)

NAME

       UNIVERSAL::can - work around buggy code calling UNIVERSAL::can() as a function

SYNOPSIS

       To use this module, simply:

	 use UNIVERSAL::can;

DESCRIPTION

       The UNIVERSAL class provides a few default methods so that all objects can use them.  Object orientation allows programmers to override
       these methods in subclasses to provide more specific and appropriate behavior.

       Some authors call methods in the UNIVERSAL class on potential invocants as functions, bypassing any possible overriding.  This is wrong and
       you should not do it.  Unfortunately, not everyone heeds this warning and their bad code can break your good code.

       This module replaces "UNIVERSAL::can()" with a method that checks to see if the first argument is a valid invocant has its own "can()"
       method.	If so, it gives a warning and calls the overridden method, working around buggy code.  Otherwise, everything works as you might
       expect.

       Some people argue that you must call "UNIVERSAL::can()" as a function because you don't know if your proposed invocant is a valid invocant.
       That's silly.  Use "blessed()" from Scalar::Util if you want to check that the potential invocant is an object or call the method anyway in
       an "eval" block and check for failure (though check the exception returned, as a poorly-written "can()" method could break Liskov and throw
       an exception other than "You can't call a method on this type of invocant").

       Just don't break working code.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       Inspired by UNIVERSAL::isa by Yuval Kogman, Autrijus Tang, and myself.

       Adam Kennedy has tirelessly made me tired by reporting potential bugs and suggesting ideas that found actual bugs.

       Mark Clements helped to track down an invalid invocant bug.

       Curtis "Ovid" Poe finally provided the inspiration I needed to clean up the interface.

       Peter du Marchie van Voorthuysen identified and fixed a problem with calling "SUPER::can".

       Daniel LeWarne found and fixed a deep recursion error.

       Norbert Buchmueller fixed an overloading bug in blessed invocants.

       The Perl QA list had a huge... discussion... which inspired my realization that this module needed to do what it does now.
