This module activates community provided syntax extensions to Perl. You pass it a feature name, and optionally a scalar with arguments, and the dispatching system will load and install the extension in your package.

The import arguments are parsed with Data::OptList. There are no standardised options. Please consult the documentation for the specific syntax feature to find out about possible configuration options.

The passed in feature names are simply transformed: \*(C`function\*(C' becomes Syntax::Feature::Function and \*(C`foo_bar\*(C' would become \*(C`Syntax::Feature::FooBar\*(C'.

import

syntax->import( @spec );

This method will dispatch the syntax extension setup to the specified feature handlers for the calling package.

import_into

syntax->import_into( $into, @spec );

Same as \*(L"import\*(R", but performs the setup in $into instead of the calling package.

unimport

syntax->unimport( @features );

This method will trigger uninstallations of the @features from the calling package.

unimport_from

syntax->unimport_from( $from, @features );

Same as \*(L"unimport\*(R", but will uninstall the @features from $from.

• Syntax::Feature::Function Activates functions with parameter signatures.

Syntax::Feature::Function, Devel::Declare
