NAME

       Kavorka::Manual::PrototypeAndAttributes - the more rarely used features of Perl
       subroutines

DESCRIPTION

   The Prototype
       Like with the sub keyword, a prototype may be provided for functions. Method dispatch
       ignores this, so it's only likely to be useful for "fun", and even then, rarely.

       Like Function::Parameters, Kavorka uses ":(...)" to indicate a prototype. This avoids
       ambiguity between signatures, prototypes and attributes.

       For compatibility with Perl 5.20, the special attribute ":prototype(...)" is supported as
       an alternative mechanism for expressing prototypes.

   The Attributes
       Attributes are parsed as per "Subroutine Attributes" in perlsub.

       For anonymous functions, some attributes (e.g. ":lvalue") may be applied too late to take
       effect. Attributes should mostly work for named functions though.
