NAME

Rubyish::Syntax::def - Inject "def" into your package.

SYNOPSIS

    package HelloWorld;
    use Rubyish::Syntax::def;

    # define a method
    def hi {
        print "Hello World"
    }

    # define a method with arguments
    def hey($you) {
        print "Hey $you";
    }

DESCRIPTION

This module injects a def keyword into your current name space, and make it work like the function of "def" in Ruby language.

The simpliest usage looks like this:

    def hi {
      print "Hello World"
    }

def auto inject a local variable $self into the body of sub, so here's what really happened:

   sub hi {
     my ($self) = @_;
     print "Hello World"
   }

At this point it doesn't work well under "main" package yet.

Furthermore, you may define methods with arguments listed:

    def hi($nick) {
      print "Hello, $nick";
    }

And this is what's really done:

    sub hi {
      my ($self, $nick) = @_;
      print "Hello, $nick";
    }

If you're interested in how this is done, read the source code of this file, or ask Devel::Declare people. Or read the tests of Devel::Declare.
