Description: meta-programming API
This package provides an API for metaprogramming; that is, allowing code to
inspect or manipulate parts of its own program structure. Parts of the perl
interpreter itself can be accessed by means of "meta"-objects provided by
this package. Methods on these objects allow inspection of details, as well
as creating new items or removing existing ones.
.
The intention of this API is to provide a nicer replacement for existing
tricks such as no strict 'refs' and using globrefs, and also to be a more
consistent place to add new abilities, such as more APIs for inspection and
alteration of internal structures, metaprogramming around the new 'class'
feature, and other such uses.
.
meta should be considered experimental; no API stability guarantees are made
at this time. Behaviour may be added, altered, or removed in later versions.
