NAME
Devel::BeginLift - make selected sub calls evaluate at compile time
SYNOPSIS
use Devel::BeginLift qw(foo baz);
use vars qw($i);
BEGIN { $i = 0 }
sub foo { "foo: $_[0]\n"; }
sub bar { "bar: $_[0]\n"; }
for (1 .. 3) {
print foo($i++);
print bar($i++);
}
no Devel::BeginLift;
print foo($i++);
outputs -
foo: 0 bar: 1 foo: 0 bar: 2 foo: 0 bar: 3 foo: 4
DESCRIPTION
Devel::BeginLift 'lifts' arbitrary sub calls to running at compile time
- sort of a souped up version of "use constant". It does this via some
slightly insane perlguts magic.
import
use Devel::BeginLift qw(list of subs);
Calls Devel::BeginLift->setup_for(__PACKAGE__ => \@list_of_subs);
unimport
no Devel::BeginLift;
Calls Devel::BeginLift->teardown_for(__PACKAGE__);
setup_for
Devel::BeginLift->setup_for($package => \@subnames);
Installs begin lifting magic (unless already installed) and registers
"${package}::$name" for each member of @subnames to be executed when
parsed and replaced with its output rather than left for runtime.
teardown_for
Devel::BeginLift->teardown_for($package);
Deregisters all subs currently registered for $package and uninstalls
begin lifting magic is number of teardown_for calls matches number of
setup_for calls.
