Summary : Additional utils for Perl symbols manipulation
Description :
This module provides a set of additional functions useful for Perl symbols
manipulation.
All Perl symbols from the same package are organized as a stash. Each
symbol (glob) contains one or more of following slots: 'SCALAR', 'ARRAY',
'HASH', 'CODE', 'IO', 'FORMAT'. These slots are also accessible as standard
variables or bare words.
The Perl symbols table is directly accessible with typeglob prefix but it
can be difficult to read and problematic if strict mode is used. Also the
access to stash, glob and one of its slot have different syntax notation.
'stash' and 'fetch_glob' functions gets stash or glob without need to use
'no strict 'refs''.
'delete_glob' function allows to delete specific slot of symbol name
without deleting others.
'delete_sub' removes the symbol from class API. This symbol won't be
available as an object method.
'export_glob' function exports a glob to the target package.
'export_package' works like the Exporter manpage module and allows to
export symbols from one package to other.
'unexport_package' allows to delete previously exported symbols.
