DESCRIPTION
This class provides an object-oriented interface to Scope::Upper's
functionalities. A Scope::Context object represents a currently active
thrown if you attempt to act on a context that has already expired. This
means that :
- my $sc;
+ my $cxt;
{
- $sc = Scope::Context->new;
+ $cxt = Scope::Context->new;
}
- $sc->reap(sub { print "hello\n });
+ $cxt->reap(sub { print "hello\n });
will croak when "reap" is called.
METHODS
- "new [ $context ]"
+ "new"
+ my $cxt = Scope::Context->new;
+ my $cxt = Scope::Context->new($scope_upper_cxt);
+
Creates a new immutable Scope::Context object from the
- Scope::Upper-comptabile context $context. If omitted, $context defaults
- to the current context.
+ Scope::Upper-comptabile context identifier $context. If omitted,
+ $context defaults to the current context.
"here"
A synonym for "new".
"cxt"
- Read-only accessor to the Scope::Upper context corresponding to the
- topic Scope::Context object.
+ my $scope_upper_cxt = $cxt->cxt;
+
+ Read-only accessor to the Scope::Upper context identifier associated
+ with the invocant.
"uid"
- Read-only accessor to the Scope::Upper UID of the topic Scope::Context
- object.
+ my $uid = $cxt->uid;
+
+ Read-only accessor to the Scope::Upper unique identifier representing
+ the Scope::Upper context associated with the invocant.
This class also overloads the "==" operator, which will return true if
and only if its two operands are Scope::Context objects that have the
same UID.
"is_valid"
- Returns true if and only if the topic context is still valid (that is,
- it designates a scope that is higher than the topic context in the call
- stack).
+ my $is_valid = $cxt->is_valid;
+
+ Returns true if and only if the invocant is still valid (that is, it
+ designates a scope that is higher on the call stack than the current
+ scope).
"assert_valid"
- Throws an exception if the topic context has expired and is no longer
- valid. Returns true otherwise.
+ $cxt->assert_valid;
+
+ Throws an exception if the invocant has expired and is no longer valid.
+ Returns true otherwise.

+
+ "gimme"
+ $cxt->gimme;
+
+ Returns the context (in the sense of "perlfunc/wantarray" : "undef" for

+ "eval_text"
+ $cxt->eval_text;
+
+ Returns the contents of the string being compiled for this context, or

+ compile time) in use when the scope denoted by the invocant begins. This
+ method is available only on perl 5.10 and greater.
"want"

- executed the scope corresponding to the topic Scope::Context object.

- context.
