Re: Determining what methods are available to a class

Another way is to look into the package symbol table. For example:

use strict;
use warnings;

use Devel::Symdump;

use CGI; # for our example we will look into the CGI package

my $obj = Devel::Symdump->rnew( 'CGI' );

my @f = $obj->functions;

print join "\n", @f;

And here part of the output:

CGI::Util::rearrange
CGI::Util::make_attributes
CGI::Util::utf8_chr
CGI::Util::simple_escape
CGI::Util::unescape
...
CGI::croak
CGI::import
CGI::binmode
CGI::self_or_CGI
CGI::expires

Unfortunately, that doesn't account for inherited methods or `AUTOLOAD`ed methods. (Remember to write your own `can()` when you `AUTOLOAD()` accessors and such.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
