NAME
Eval::TypeTiny - utility to evaluate a string of Perl code in a clean
environment
STATUS
This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.
DESCRIPTION
This module is used by Type::Tiny to compile coderefs from strings of
Perl code, and hashrefs of variables to close over.
Functions
By default this module exports one function, which works much like the
similarly named function from Eval::Closure:
"eval_closure(source => $source, environment => \%env, %opt)"
Other functions can be imported on request:
"set_subname( $fully_qualified_name, $coderef )"
Works like the similarly named function from Sub::Util, but will
fallback to doing nothing if neither Sub::Util nor Sub::Name are
available. Also will cowardly refuse the set the name of a coderef
a second time if it's already named it.
"type_to_coderef( $type, %options )"
Turns a Type::Tiny object into a coderef, suitable for installing
into a symbol table to create a function like "ArrayRef" or "Int".
(Actually should work for any object which provides
"is_parameterizable", "parameterize", and "qualified_name" methods,
such as Type::Coercion.)
$options{post_method} can be a string of Perl indicating a method
to call on the type constraint before returning it. For example
'->moose_type'.
$options{description} can be a description of the coderef which may
be shown in stack traces, etc.
The coderef will be named using "set_subname" unless
$options{anonymous} is true.
If $type is undef, then it is assumed that the type constraint
hasn't been defined yet but will later, yet you still want a
function now. $options{type_library} and $options{type_name} will
be used to find the type constraint when the function gets called.
Constants
The following constants may be exported, but are not by default.
"HAS_LEXICAL_SUBS"
Boolean indicating whether Eval::TypeTiny has support for lexical
subs. (This feature requires Perl 5.18.)
"ALIAS_IMPLEMENTATION"
Returns a string indicating what implementation of "alias => 1" is
being used. Eval::TypeTiny will automatically choose the best
implementation. This constant can be matched against the
"IMPLEMENTAION_*" constants.
"IMPLEMENTATION_NATIVE"
If "ALIAS_IMPLEMENTATION eq IMPLEMENTATION_NATIVE" then
Eval::TypeTiny is currently using Perl 5.22's native alias feature.
This requires Perl 5.22.
"IMPLEMENTATION_DEVEL_LEXALIAS"
If "ALIAS_IMPLEMENTATION eq IMPLEMENTATION_DEVEL_LEXALIAS" then
Eval::TypeTiny is currently using Devel::LexAlias to provide
aliases.
"IMPLEMENTATION_PADWALKER"
If "ALIAS_IMPLEMENTATION eq IMPLEMENTATION_PADWALKER" then
Eval::TypeTiny is currently using PadWalker to provide aliases.
"IMPLEMENTATION_TIE"
If "ALIAS_IMPLEMENTATION eq IMPLEMENTATION_TIE" then Eval::TypeTiny
is using the fallback implementation of aliases using "tie". This
is the slowest implementation, and may cause problems in certain
edge cases, like trying to alias already-tied variables, but it's
the only way to implement "alias => 1" without a recent version of
Perl or one of the two optional modules mentioned above.
"NICE_PROTOTYPES"
If this is true, then type_to_coderef will give parameterizable
type constraints the slightly nicer prototype of "(;$)" instead of
the default "(;@)". This allows constructs like:
ArrayRef[Int] | HashRef[Int]
... to "just work".
EVALUATION ENVIRONMENT
The evaluation is performed in the presence of strict, but the absence
of warnings. (This is different to Eval::Closure which enables warnings
for compiled closures.)
The feature pragma is not active in the evaluation environment, so the
following will not work:
use feature qw(say);
use Eval::TypeTiny qw(eval_closure);
my $say_all = eval_closure(
source => 'sub { say for @_ }',
);
$say_all->("Hello", "World");
The feature pragma does not "carry over" into the stringy eval. It is
of course possible to import pragmas into the evaluated string as part
of the string itself:
use Eval::TypeTiny qw(eval_closure);
my $say_all = eval_closure(
source => 'sub { use feature qw(say); say for @_ }',
);
$say_all->("Hello", "World");
