Syntax...lBlocks(3pm)

💖 Embperl::Syntax::EmbperlBlocks 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Perl manual page for Embperl::Syntax::EmbperlBlocks — that's the syntax module, filed under User Contributed Perl Documentation and living in section 3pm of your friendly neighbourhood man pages. it's giving "niche but iconic", ngl.

---

✨ NAME ✨

Embperl::Syntax::EmbperlBlocks — the syntax for Embperl Blocks and metacommands. that's literally the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

sooo... this section is empty in the original. no synopsis, no cap. she said "figure it out from the DESCRIPTION, bestie" 😭

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is a class derived from Embperl::Syntax, and what it does is define the syntax for Embperl Blocks and metacommands. periodt.

---

🎀 Methods 🎀

Embperl::Syntax::EmbperlBlocks defines the following methods:

---

👑 Embperl::Syntax::EmbperlBlocks -> new / $self -> new 👑

Create a brand new syntax class. heads up though: this method should only be called inside a constructor of a derived class. like, it's an inside-job method, iykyk.

---

⭐ AddMetaCmd ($cmdname, $procinfo) ⭐

Adds a new metacommand with the name $cmdname, and it uses the processor info from $procinfo. for what procinfo even is, go peek at Embperl::Syntax. 🫶

---

🌈 AddMetaCmdWithEnd ($cmdname, $endname, $procinfo) 🌈

Adds a new metacommand named $cmdname, using processor info from $procinfo. and additionally, you're specifying that a matching $endname metacommand must be found to end the block that this metacommand starts. so it's a package deal, bestie — one starts it, the other closes it. ✨

procinfo is defined over in Embperl::Syntax, same as always.

---

💜 AddMetaCmdBlock ($cmdname, $endname, $procinfostart, $procinfoend) 💜

Adds a new metacommand named $cmdname, plus a second metacommand $endname which ends the block that $cmdname started. it uses processor info from $procinfo. and again — procinfo is defined in Embperl::Syntax. 💫
