NAME

       Sub::Quote - efficient generation of subroutines via string eval

SYNOPSIS

        package Silly;

        use Sub::Quote qw(quote_sub unquote_sub quoted_from_sub);

        quote_sub 'Silly::kitty', q{ print "meow" };

        quote_sub 'Silly::doggy', q{ print "woof" };

        my $sound = 0;

        quote_sub 'Silly::dagron',
          q{ print ++$sound % 2 ? 'burninate' : 'roar' },
          { '$sound' => \$sound };

       And elsewhere:

        Silly->kitty;  # meow
        Silly->doggy;  # woof
        Silly->dagron; # burninate
        Silly->dagron; # roar
        Silly->dagron; # burninate

DESCRIPTION

       This package provides performant ways to generate subroutines from strings.

SUBROUTINES

   quote_sub
        my $coderef = quote_sub 'Foo::bar', q{ print $x++ . "\n" }, { '$x' => \0 };

       Arguments: ?$name, $code, ?\%captures, ?\%options

       $name is the subroutine where the coderef will be installed.

       $code is a string that will be turned into code.

       "\%captures" is a hashref of variables that will be made available to the code.  The keys should be the
       full name of the variable to be made available, including the sigil.  The values should be references to
       the values.  The variables will contain copies of the values.  See the "SYNOPSIS"'s "Silly::dagron" for
       an example using captures.

       options

       • no_install

         Boolean.   Set  this  option  to  not  install the generated coderef into the passed subroutine name on
         undefer.

   unquote_sub
        my $coderef = unquote_sub $sub;

       Forcibly replace subroutine with actual code.

       If $sub is not a quoted sub, this is a no-op.

   quoted_from_sub
        my $data = quoted_from_sub $sub;

        my ($name, $code, $captures, $compiled_sub) = @$data;

       Returns original arguments to quote_sub, plus the compiled version if this sub has already been unquoted.

       Note that $sub can be either the original quoted version or the compiled version for convenience.

   inlinify
        my $prelude = capture_unroll '$captures', {
          '$x' => 1,
          '$y' => 2,
        };

        my $inlined_code = inlinify q{
          my ($x, $y) = @_;

          print $x + $y . "\n";
        }, '$x, $y', $prelude;

       Takes a string of code, a string of arguments, a string of code which acts as a "prelude", and a  Boolean
       representing whether or not to localize the arguments.

   capture_unroll
        my $prelude = capture_unroll '$captures', {
          '$x' => 1,
          '$y' => 2,
        }, 4;

       Arguments: $from, \%captures, $indent

       Generates  a snippet of code which is suitable to be used as a prelude for "inlinify".  $from is a string
       will be used as a hashref in the resulting code.  The keys of %captures are the names  of  the  variables
       and the values are ignored.  $indent is the number of spaces to indent the result by.

CAVEATS

       Much of this is just string-based code-generation, and as a result, a few caveats apply.

   return
       Calling  "return"  from a quote_sub'ed sub will not likely do what you intend.  Instead of returning from
       the code you defined in "quote_sub", it will return from the overall function it is composited into.

       So when you pass in:

          quote_sub q{  return 1 if $condition; $morecode }

       It might turn up in the intended context as follows:

         sub foo {

           <important code a>
           do {
             return 1 if $condition;
             $morecode
           };
           <important code b>

         }

       Which will obviously return from foo, when all you meant to do  was  return  from  the  code  context  in
       quote_sub and proceed with running important code b.

   pragmas
       "Sub::Quote"  preserves the environment of the code creating the quoted subs.  This includes the package,
       strict, warnings, and any other lexical pragmas.  This is done by prefixing the code with  a  block  that
       sets  up a matching environment.  When inlining "Sub::Quote" subs, care should be taken that user pragmas
       won't effect the rest of the code.
