    };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=for stopwords CLOS

Method modifiers are a convenient feature from the CLOS (Common Lisp Object
System) world.

In its most basic form, a method modifier is just a method that calls
C<< $self->SUPER::foo(@_) >>. I for one have trouble remembering that exact
invocation, so my classes seldom re-dispatch to their base classes. Very bad!

C<Class::Method::Modifiers> provides three modifiers: C<before>, C<around>, and
C<after>. C<before> and C<after> are run just before and after the method they
modify, but can not really affect that original method. C<around> is run in
place of the original method, with a hook to easily call that original method.
See the C<MODIFIERS> section for more details on how the particular modifiers
work.

One clear benefit of using C<Class::Method::Modifiers> is that you can define
multiple modifiers in a single namespace. These separate modifiers don't need
to know about each other. This makes top-down design easy. Have a base class
that provides the skeleton methods of each operation, and have plugins modify
those methods to flesh out the specifics.

Parent classes need not know about C<Class::Method::Modifiers>. This means you
should be able to modify methods in I<any> subclass. See
L<Term::VT102::ZeroBased> for an example of subclassing with
C<Class::Method::Modifiers>.

In short, C<Class::Method::Modifiers> solves the problem of making sure you
call C<< $self->SUPER::foo(@_) >>, and provides a cleaner interface for it.

As of version 1.00, C<Class::Method::Modifiers> is faster in some cases than
L<Moose>. See C<benchmark/method_modifiers.pl> in the L<Moose> distribution.

C<Class::Method::Modifiers> also provides an additional "modifier" type,
C<fresh>; see below.

=head1 MODIFIERS

All modifiers let you modify one or multiple methods at a time. The names of
multiple methods can be provided as a list or as an array-reference. Examples:

 before 'method' => sub { ... };
 before 'method1', 'method2' => sub { ... };
 before [ 'method1', 'method2' ] => sub { ... };

=head2 before method(s) => sub { ... };

C<before> is called before the method it is modifying. Its return value is
totally ignored. It receives the same C<@_> as the method it is modifying
would have received. You can modify the C<@_> the original method will receive
by changing C<$_[0]> and friends (or by changing anything inside a reference).
This is a feature!

=head2 after method(s) => sub { ... };

C<after> is called after the method it is modifying. Its return value is
totally ignored. It receives the same C<@_> as the method it is modifying
received, mostly. The original method can modify C<@_> (such as by changing
C<$_[0]> or references) and C<after> will see the modified version. If you
don't like this behavior, specify both a C<before> and C<after>, and copy the
C<@_> during C<before> for C<after> to use.

=head2 around method(s) => sub { ... };

C<around> is called instead of the method it is modifying. The method you're
overriding is passed in as the first argument (called C<$orig> by convention).
Watch out for contextual return values of C<$orig>.

You can use C<around> to:

=over 4

=item Pass C<$orig> a different C<@_>

    around 'method' => sub {
        my $orig = shift;
        my $self = shift;
        $orig->($self, reverse @_);
    };

=item Munge the return value of C<$orig>

    around 'method' => sub {
        my $orig = shift;
        ucfirst $orig->(@_);
    };

=item Avoid calling C<$orig> -- conditionally

    around 'method' => sub {
        my $orig = shift;
        return $orig->(@_) if time() % 2;
        return "no dice, captain";
    };

=back

=head2 fresh method(s) => sub { ... };

(Available since version 2.00)

Unlike the other modifiers, this does not modify an existing method.
Ordinarily, C<fresh> merely installs the coderef as a method in the
appropriate class; but if the class hierarchy already contains a method of
the same name, an exception is thrown.  The idea of this "modifier" is to
increase safety when subclassing.  Suppose you're writing a subclass of a
class Some::Base, and adding a new method:

    package My::Subclass;
    use base 'Some::Base';

    sub foo { ... }

If a later version of Some::Base also adds a new method named C<foo>, your
method will shadow that method.  Alternatively, you can use C<fresh>
to install the additional method into your subclass:

    package My::Subclass;
    use base 'Some::Base';

    use Class::Method::Modifiers 'fresh';

    fresh 'foo' => sub { ... };

Now upgrading Some::Base to a version with a conflicting C<foo> method will
cause an exception to be thrown; seeing that error will give you the
opportunity to fix the problem (perhaps by picking a different method name
in your subclass, or similar).

Creating fresh methods with C<install_modifier> (see below) provides a way
to get similar safety benefits when adding local monkeypatches to existing
classes; see L<http://aaroncrane.co.uk/talks/monkey_patching_subclassing/>.

For API compatibility reasons, this function is exported only when you ask
for it specifically, or for C<:all>.

=head2 install_modifier $package, $type, @names, sub { ... }

C<install_modifier> is like C<before>, C<after>, C<around>, and C<fresh> but
it also lets you dynamically select the modifier type ('before', 'after',
'around', 'fresh')
and package that the method modifiers are installed into. This expert-level
function is exported only when you ask for it specifically, or for C<:all>.

=head1 NOTES

All three normal modifiers; C<before>, C<after>, and C<around>; are exported
into your namespace by default. You may C<use Class::Method::Modifiers ()> to
avoid modifying your namespace. I may steal more features from L<Moose>, namely
C<super>, C<override>, C<inner>, C<augment>, and whatever the L<Moose> folks
come up with next.

Note that the syntax and semantics for these modifiers is directly borrowed
from L<Moose> (the implementations, however, are not).

L<Class::Trigger> shares a few similarities with C<Class::Method::Modifiers>,
and they even have some overlap in purpose -- both can be used to implement
highly pluggable applications. The difference is that L<Class::Trigger>
provides a mechanism for easily letting parent classes to invoke hooks defined
by other code. C<Class::Method::Modifiers> provides a way of
overriding/augmenting methods safely, and the parent class need not know about
it.

=head2 :lvalue METHODS

When adding C<before> or C<after> modifiers, the wrapper method will be
an lvalue method if the wrapped sub is, and assigning to the method
will propagate to the wrapped method as expected.  For C<around>
modifiers, it is the modifier sub that determines if the wrapper
method is an lvalue method.

=head1 CAVEATS

It is erroneous to modify a method that doesn't exist in your class's
inheritance hierarchy. If this occurs, an exception will be thrown when
the modifier is defined.

It doesn't yet play well with C<caller>. There are some C<TODO> tests for this.
Don't get your hopes up though!

Applying modifiers to array lvalue methods is not fully supported. Attempting
to assign to an array lvalue method that has an C<after> modifier applied will
result in an error.  Array lvalue methods are not well supported by perl in
general, and should be avoided.

=head1 MAJOR VERSION CHANGES

=for stopwords reimplementation

This module was bumped to 1.00 following a complete reimplementation, to
indicate breaking backwards compatibility. The "guard" modifier was removed,
and the internals are completely different.

The new version is a few times faster with half the code. It's now even faster
than Moose.

Any code that just used modifiers should not change in behavior, except to
become more correct. And, of course, faster. :)
