If a name is provided, this also installs the sub as that name - and when the subroutine is undeferred will re-install the final version for speed. Exported by default. =head3 Options A hashref of options can optionally be specified. =over 4 =item package The package to generate the sub in. Will be overridden by a fully qualified C<$name> option. If not specified, will default to the caller's package. =item attributes The L to apply to the sub generated. Should be specified as an array reference. =back =head2 undefer_sub my $coderef = undefer_sub \&Foo::name; If the passed coderef has been L this will "undefer" it. If the passed coderef has not been deferred, this will just return it. If this is confusing, take a look at the example in the L. Exported by default. =head2 defer_info my $data = defer_info $sub; my ($name, $generator, $options, $undeferred_sub) = @$data; Returns original arguments to defer_sub, plus the undeferred version if this sub has already been undeferred. Note that $sub can be either the original deferred version or the undeferred version for convenience. Not exported by default. =head2 undefer_all undefer_all(); This will undefer all deferred subs in one go. This can be very useful in a forking environment where child processes would each have to undefer the same subs. By calling this just before you start forking children you can undefer all currently deferred subs in the parent so that the children do not have to do it. Note this may bake the behavior of some subs that were intended to calculate their behavior later, so it shouldn't be used midway through a module load or class definition. Exported by default. =head2 undefer_package undefer_package($package); This undefers all deferred subs in a package. Not exported by default. =head1 SUPPORT See L for support and contact information. =head1 AUTHORS See L for authors. =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE See L for the copyright and license. =cut
