Mason Subcomponent Class (version 1.45)
NAME
HTML::Mason::Component::Subcomponent - Mason Subcomponent Class
DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of
HTML::Mason::Component. Mason uses it to
implement both subcomponents (defined by <%def>) and methods (defined
by <%method>).
A subcomponent/method gets most of its properties from its owner. Note that the link from the subcomponent to its owner is a weak reference (to prevent circular references), so if you grab a subcomponent/method object, you should also grab and hold a reference to its owner. If the owner goes out of scope, the subcomponent/method object will become unusable.
METHODS
- is_method
-
Returns 1 if this is a method (declared by
<%method>), 0 if it is a subcomponent (defined by c<< <%def> >>). - owner
-
Returns the component object within which this subcomponent or method was defined.
