exussum0 asked in the chatterbox whether there's a quick way to wrap the methods of an object such that you can access them as plain functions which are exported to a package. Thus, here's my solution.
Take this module:
package Wrapobj; our $VERSION = 1.000; use Scalar::Util "blessed"; use mro; sub import { my $en = caller; my $ens = $en . "::"; my $ep = \%{(do { no strict "refs"; $ens })}; my($_u, $o) = @_; my $c = blessed($o) || $o; for my $n (@{mro::get_linear_isa($c)}) { my $p = \%{(do { no strict "refs"; $n . "::" })}; for my $s (sort keys %$p) { if (exists(&{$$p{$s}})) { if (!$$ep{$s} || !exists(&{$$ep{$s}})) { *{$ens . $s} = sub { $o->${\$s}(@_) }; } } } } } 1; __END__
Now you can import the methods of an object $obj by saying use Wrapobj $obj;. For example, you could say
use Math::BigInt; use Wrapobj Math::BigInt->new("100"); warn bmul(2); +warn as_hex()
You could even use this on a class to access class methods:
use Math::BigInt; use Wrapobj Math::BigInt::; warn new("0x100");
Of course, this is just a proof of concept module, a real one would allow you to explicitly set which subs you want to import, and frankly, you likely don't want to use this kind of thing in real code anyway.
