Such a glob reference can be used as a file or directory +handle. + +For backward compatibility with older implementations that didn't +support anonymous globs, C<Symbol::ungensym> is also provided. +But it doesn't do anything. + +C<Symbol::geniosym> creates an anonymous IO handle. This can be +assigned into an existing glob without affecting the non-IO portions +of the glob. + +C<Symbol::qualify> turns unqualified symbol names into qualified +variable names (e.g. "myvar" -E<gt> "MyPackage::myvar"). If it is given a +second parameter, C<qualify> uses it as the default package; +otherwise, it uses the package of its caller. Regardless, global +variable names (e.g. "STDOUT", "ENV", "SIG") are always qualified with +"main::". + +Qualification applies only to symbol names (strings). References are +left unchanged under the assumption that they are glob references, +which are qualified by their nature. + +C<Symbol::qualify_to_ref> is just like C<Symbol::qualify> except that it +returns a glob ref rather than a symbol name, so you can use the result +even if C<use strict 'refs'> is in effect. + +C<Symbol::delete_package> wipes out a whole package namespace. Note +this routine is not exported by default--you may want to import it +explicitly. + +=cut + +BEGIN { require 5.005; } + +require Exporter; +@ISA = qw(Exporter); +@EXPORT = qw(gensym ungensym qualify qualify_to_ref); +@EXPORT_OK = qw(delete_package geniosym); + +$VERSION = 1.04; + +my $genpkg = "Symbol::"; +my $genseq = 0; + +my %global = map {$_ => 1} qw(ARGV ARGVOUT ENV INC SIG STDERR STDIN STDOUT); + +# +# Note that we never _copy_ the glob; we just make a ref to it. +# If we did copy it, then SVf_FAKE would be set on the copy, and +# glob-specific behaviors (e.g. C<*$ref = \&func>) wouldn't work. +# +sub gensym () { + my $name = "GEN" . $genseq++; + my $ref = \*{$genpkg . $name}; + delete $$genpkg{$name}; + $ref; +} + +sub geniosym () { + my $sym = gensym(); + # force the IO slot to be filled + select(select $sym); + *$sym{IO}; +} + +sub ungensym ($) {} + +sub qualify ($;$) { + my ($name) = @_; + if (!ref($name) && index($name, '::') == -1 && index($name, "'") == -1) { + my $pkg; + # Global names: special character, "^xyz", or other. + if ($name =~ /^(([^a-z])|(\^[a-z_]+))\z/i || $global{$name}) { + # RGS 2001-11-05 : translate leading ^X to control-char + $name =~ s/^\^([a-z_])/'qq(\c'.$1.')'/eei; + $pkg = "main"; + } + else { + $pkg = (@_ > 1) ? $_[1] : caller; + } + $name = $pkg .
