liblexical-var-perl 0.009-3build2 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu artful
Lexical::Var implements lexical scoping of subroutines. Although it can be
used directly, it is mainly intended to be infrastructure for modules that
manage namespaces.
.
This module influences the meaning of single-part subroutine names that
appear directly in code, such as "&foo" and "foo(123)". Normally, in the
absence of any particular declaration, these would refer to the subroutine of
that name located in the current package. A Lexical::Sub declaration can
change this to refer to any particular subroutine, bypassing the package
system entirely. A subroutine name that includes an explicit package part,
such as "&main::foo", always refers to the subroutine in the specified
package, and is unaffected by this module. A symbolic reference through a
string value, such as "&{'foo'}", also looks in the package system, and so is
unaffected by this module.
.
The types of name that can be influenced are scalar ("$foo"), array
("@foo"), hash ("%foo"), subroutine ("&foo"), and glob ("*foo").
