NAME invoker - implicit invoker, sort of SYNOPSIS use invoker; sub foo { my $self = shift; $->bar; # calls $self->bar; } use methods-invoker; method { $->bar # ditto } DESCRIPTION The invoker pragma enables the "$->" syntax for invoking methods on $self , inspired by Perl6's "$.method" invocation. The module does not inject the $self variable for you. you are encouraged to use it in conjunction with self, selfvars, , or other similar modules. The following syntax works: $->foo( .. args ...) $->foo $->$method_name $->$method_name( .. args ...) CAVEATS Regular hash access must still be written as "$self->{attr}" instead of "$->{attr}". Internally, the module installs a parser hook to replace "$->" ($- and the gt operator) with $--> (an invocation on the $- perlvar. It also injects an "entersub" hook to replace $- with $self.
