DESCRIPTION
When enabled (or disabled as some may prefer to say, since you actually
turn it on by calling "no indirect"), this pragma warns about indirect
This module is not a source filter.
METHODS
- "unimport @opts"
+ "unimport [ hook => $hook | ':fatal' ]"
Magically called when "no indirect @opts" is encountered. Turns the
- module on. If @opts contains ':fatal', the module will croak on the
- first indirect syntax met.
+ module on. The policy to apply depends on what is first found in @opts :
+
+ * If it's the string ':fatal', the compilation will croak on the first
+ indirect syntax met.
+
+ * If the key/value pair "hook => $hook" comes first, $hook will be
+ called for each error with the object name as $_[0] and the method
+ name as $_[1].
+
+ * Otherwise, a warning will be emitted for each indirect construct.
"import"
Magically called at each "use indirect". Turns the module off.
+CONSTANTS
+ "I_THREADSAFE"
+ True iff the module could have been built when thread-safety features.
+
CAVEATS
"meth $obj" (no semicolon) at the end of a file won't be seen as an
