=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
C<Symbol::gensym> creates an anonymous glob and returns a reference
|
|
to it. Such a glob reference can be used as a file or directory
|
|
handle.
|
|
|
|
For backward compatibility with older implementations that didn't
|
|
support anonymous globs, C<Symbol::ungensym> is also provided.
|
|
But it doesn't do anything.
|
|
|
|
C<Symbol::geniosym> creates an anonymous IO handle. This can be
|
|
assigned into an existing glob without affecting the non-IO portions
|
|
of the glob.
|
|
|
|
C<Symbol::qualify> turns unqualified symbol names into qualified
|
|
variable names (e.g. "myvar" -E<gt> "MyPackage::myvar"). If it is given a
|
|
second parameter, C<qualify> uses it as the default package;
|
|
otherwise, it uses the package of its caller. Regardless, global
|
|
variable names (e.g. "STDOUT", "ENV", "SIG") are always qualified with
|
|
"main::".
|
|
|
|
Qualification applies only to symbol names (strings). References are
|
|
left unchanged under the assumption that they are glob references,
|
|
which are qualified by their nature.
|
|
|
|
C<Symbol::qualify_to_ref> is just like C<Symbol::qualify> except that it
|
|
returns a glob ref rather than a symbol name, so you can use the result
|
|
even if C<use strict 'refs'> is in effect.
|
|
|
|
C<Symbol::delete_package> wipes out a whole package namespace. Note
|
|
this routine is not exported by default--you may want to import it
|
|
explicitly.
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
C<Symbol::delete_package> is a bit too powerful. It undefines every symbol that
|
|
lives in the specified package. Since perl, for performance reasons, does not
|
|
perform a symbol table lookup each time a function is called or a global
|
|
variable is accessed, some code that has already been loaded and that makes use
|
|
of symbols in package C<Foo> may stop working after you delete C<Foo>, even if
|
|
you reload the C<Foo> module afterwards.
