FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

Top

get_data_hash($)

This method receives a perl object, analyzes it and returns a hash with its data memebers in it.

get_method_hash($)

This method receives a perl object, analyzes it and returns a hash with its method interface in it. On problem here is that I'm turning a string to a hash reference (as needed as far as I can tell) to get to the hash with all the methods in it. This is forbidden by use strict and so I have to relax stuff and put restrictions back in after I do the ugly deed.

TEST($)

Test suite for this module.

SUPER CLASSES

Top

None.
