The API may change in future versions. The code may be buggy. Also, this module is a fork from C, that somehow got stalled. If its author accepts pull requests, then it will probably be best to use it instead. This module lets you implement new keywords in pure Perl. To do this, you need to write a module and call L|/Keyword::Pluggable::define> in your C method. Any keywords defined this way will be available in the scope that's currently being compiled. The scope can be lexical, packaged, and global. =head2 Functions =over =item C =over =item keyword The keyword is injected in the scope currently being compiled =item code (string or coderef) For every occurrence of the keyword, your coderef will be called and its result will be injected into perl's parse buffer, so perl will continue parsing as if its contents had been the real source code in the first place. First paramater to the eventual coderef will be all code textref following the keyword to be replaced, if examination and change is needed. =item expression Boolean flag; if true then the perl parser will treat new code as expression, otherwise as a statement =item global Boolean flag; if set, then the scope is global, otherwise it is lexical or packaged =item package If set, the scope will be limited to that package, otherwise it will be lexical =back =item C Allows options: C, C, C (see above). Disables the keyword in the given scope. You can call this from your C method to make the C syntax work. =back =head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS This module depends on the L API introduced in perl 5.12. C functions were introduced in 5.14. Older versions of perl are not supported. Every new keyword is actually a complete statement or an expression by itself. The parsing magic only happens afterwards. This means that e.g. the code in the L actually does this: provided ($foo > 2) { ... } # expands to ; if ($foo > 2) { ... } The C<;> represents a no-op statement, the C was injected by the Perl code, and the rest of the file is unchanged. This also means your it can only occur at the beginning of a statement, not embedded in an expression. To be able to do that, use C<< expression => 1 >> flag. Keywords in the replacement part of a C substitution aren't handled correctly and break parsing. There are barely any tests. =head1 AUTHOR Lukas Mai, C<< >> Dmitry Karasik , C<< >> =head1 COPYRIGHT & LICENSE Copyright (C) 2012, 2013 Lukas Mai.
