What would be the (relatively) best way to list all functions of a package or methods of an object?
The best way i could think of is:
my $instance = new Class::Name;
sub print_methods {
my ($obj) = @_;
my $class = ref $obj;
foreach my $name (eval "keys %${class}::") {
if ($obj->can($name)) {
print "obj can do $name\n";
}
}
}
print_methods($instance);
There must be a better way, but i gave up trying to find the right typeglob-related syntax. The eval "keys %${class}::" can certainly be better. Besides there must be some way to get all symbol table entries for which {CODE} is defined instead of using $var->can(), but yet again, i failed to write something that would compile.
And yes, i understand that it wouldn't find AUTOLOAD's and possibly some other funny stuff - that's why i wrote "the (relatively) best way".
Any help will be appreciated.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
