Class::Unload(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay so welcome to the Class::Unload(3) page, brought to you by the User Contributed Perl Documentation girlies. This module is literally called Class::Unload, and its whole entire job is: unload a class. That’s the vibe. ✨

🎀 VERSION 🎀

Version 0.12, bestie — noted, screenshot, pinned. 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

Here’s the little demo, exactly as it appears, no cap:

use Class::Unload;
use Class::Inspector;

use Some::Class;

Class::Unload->unload( 'Some::Class' );
Class::Inspector->loaded( 'Some::Class' ); # Returns false

require Some::Class; # Reloads the class

🦋 METHODS 🦋

unload $class

This method unloads the given class by clearing out its symbol table and removing it from %INC. If it’s a Moose class, the metaclass is also removed. That’s the whole move, periodt. 👑

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

• Class::Inspector — yes, go look at this one too, bestie.
