HTML::Mason::Compiler:UserbContributed Perl HTML::Mason::Compiler::ToObject(3)NAMEHTML::Mason::Compiler::ToObject - A Compiler subclass that generates
Mason object code
SYNOPSIS
my $compiler = HTML::Mason::Compiler::ToObject->new;
my $object_code =
$compiler->compile( comp_source => $source,
name => $comp_name,
comp_path => $comp_path,
);
DESCRIPTION
This Compiler subclass generates Mason object code (Perl code). It is
the default Compiler class used by Mason.
PARAMETERS TO THE new() CONSTRUCTOR
All of these parameters are optional.
comp_class
The class into which component objects are blessed. This defaults
to HTML::Mason::Component.
subcomp_class
The class into which subcomponent objects are blessed. This
defaults to HTML::Mason::Component::Subcomponent.
in_package
This is the package in which a component's code is executed. For
historical reasons, this defaults to "HTML::Mason::Commands".
preamble
Text given for this parameter is placed at the beginning of each
component, but after the execution of any "<%once>" block. See also
postamble. The request will be available as $m in preamble code.
postamble
Text given for this parameter is placed at the end of each
component. See also preamble. The request will be available as $m
in postamble code.
use_strict
True or false, default is true. Indicates whether or not a given
component should "use strict".
named_component_subs
When compiling a component, use uniquely named subroutines for the
a component's body, subcomponents, and methods. Doing this allows
you to effectively profile Mason components. Without this, all
components simply show up as __ANON__ or something similar in the
profiler.
define_args_hash
One of "always", "auto", or "never". This determines whether or
not an %ARGS hash is created in components. If it is set to
"always", one is always defined. If set to "never", it is never
defined.
The default, "auto", will cause the hash to be defined only if some
part of the component contains the string "ARGS". This is somewhat
crude, and may result in some false positives, but this is
preferable to false negatives.
Not defining the args hash means that we can avoid copying
component arguments, which can save memory and slightly improve
execution speed.
ACCESSOR METHODS
All of the above properties have read-only accessor methods of the same
name. You cannot change any property of a compiler after it has been
created (but you can create multiple compilers with different
properties).
METHODS
This class is primarily meant to be used by the Interpreter object, and
as such has a very limited public API.
compile(...)
This method will take component source and return the compiled
object code for that source. See "compile(...)" in
HTML::Mason::Compiler for details on this method.
This subclass also accepts a "comp_class" parameter, allowing you
to override the class into which the component is compiled.
