DESCRIPTION
===========
This is essentially a third-party pragma, using the (possibly evil) magic of the "augment" feature: this means it should be used only with extreme caution. It's primary intended use is learning and/or debugging sessions using the repl.
With this pseudo-pragma, every object or class should have an "m" method, which is an even shorter alias for the "menu" method defined by Object::Examine. It gives you a list of all available methods, much like the built-in "^methods" method but in a format that's hopefully more readable and informative, albiet much more verbose.
The "m" method is named after the perl5 debugger command "m".
TROUBLESHOOTING
===============
installation
------------
The pseudo-pragma method-menu needs three other modules:
Symbol::Scan
|
Object::Examine Augment::Util
| |
|--------------------/
|
method-menu
If there are issues with getting all four components installed, you might resort to manual installation. The code is available on github:
