NAME
       Class::MOP::Method - Method Meta Object

VERSION
       version 2.2203

DESCRIPTION
       The Method Protocol is very small, since methods in Perl 5 are just
       subroutines in a specific package. We provide a very basic
       introspection interface.

METHODS
       Class::MOP::Method->wrap($code, %options)
           This is the constructor. It accepts a method body in the form of
           either a code reference or a Class::MOP::Method instance, followed
           by a hash of options.

           The options are:

           •       name

                   The method name (without a package name). This is required
                   if $code is a coderef.

           •       package_name

                   The package name for the method. This is required if $code
                   is a coderef.

           •       associated_metaclass

                   An optional Class::MOP::Class object. This is the metaclass
                   for the method's class.

       $metamethod->clone(%params)
           This makes a shallow clone of the method object. In particular,
           subroutine reference itself is shared between all clones of a given
           method.

           When a method is cloned, the original method object will be
           available by calling "original_method" on the clone.

       $metamethod->body
           This returns a reference to the method's subroutine.

       $metamethod->name
           This returns the method's name.

       $metamethod->package_name
           This returns the method's package name.

       $metamethod->fully_qualified_name
           This returns the method's fully qualified name (package name and
           method name).

       $metamethod->associated_metaclass
           This returns the Class::MOP::Class object for the method, if one
           exists.

       $metamethod->original_method
           If this method object was created as a clone of some other method
           object, this returns the object that was cloned.

       $metamethod->original_name
           This returns the method's original name, wherever it was first
           defined.

           If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this
           method returns the name from the first method in the chain of
           clones.

       $metamethod->original_package_name
           This returns the method's original package name, wherever it was
           first defined.

           If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this
           method returns the package name from the first method in the chain
           of clones.

       $metamethod->original_fully_qualified_name
           This returns the method's original fully qualified name, wherever
           it was first defined.

           If this method is a clone of a clone (of a clone, etc.), this
           method returns the fully qualified name from the first method in
           the chain of clones.

       $metamethod->is_stub
           Returns true if the method is just a stub:

             sub foo;

       $metamethod->attach_to_class($metaclass)
           Given a Class::MOP::Class object, this method sets the associated
           metaclass for the method. This will overwrite any existing
           associated metaclass.

       $metamethod->detach_from_class
           Removes any associated metaclass object for the method.

       $metamethod->execute(...)
           This executes the method. Any arguments provided will be passed on
           to the method itself.

       Class::MOP::Method->meta
           This will return a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class.

           It should also be noted that Class::MOP will actually bootstrap
           this module by installing a number of attribute meta-objects into
           its metaclass.
