Sub::HandlesVia::HandlerLibrary::Code - library of code-related methods

  package My::Class {
    use Moo;
    use Sub::HandlesVia;
    use Types::Standard 'CodeRef';
    has attr => (
      is => 'rwp',
      isa => CodeRef,
      handles_via => 'Code',
      handles => {
        'my_execute' => 'execute',
        'my_execute_list' => 'execute_list',
        'my_execute_method' => 'execute_method',
        'my_execute_method_list' => 'execute_method_list',
        'my_execute_method_scalar' => 'execute_method_scalar',
        'my_execute_method_void' => 'execute_method_void',
        'my_execute_scalar' => 'execute_scalar',
        'my_execute_void' => 'execute_void',
      },
    );
  }

This is a library of methods for Sub::HandlesVia.

Calls the coderef, passing it any arguments.

  my $coderef = sub { 'code' };
  my $object  = My::Class->new( attr => $coderef );
  
  # Calls: $coderef->( 1, 2, 3 )
  $object->my_execute( 1, 2, 3 );

Calls the coderef, passing it any arguments, and forcing list context. If called in scalar context, returns an arrayref.

  my $context;
  my $coderef = sub { $context = wantarray(); 'code' };
  my $object  = My::Class->new( attr => $coderef );
  
  # Calls: $coderef->( 1, 2, 3 )
  my $result = $object->my_execute_list( 1, 2, 3 );
  
  say Dumper( $result );  ## ==> [ 'code' ]
  say $context;           ## ==> true

Calls the coderef as if it were a method, passing any arguments.

  my $coderef = sub { 'code' };
  my $object  = My::Class->new( attr => $coderef );
  
  # Calls: $coderef->( $object, 1, 2, 3 )
  $object->my_execute_method( 1, 2, 3 );

Calls the coderef as if it were a method, passing any arguments, and forcing list context. If called in scalar context, returns an arrayref.

  my $context;
  my $coderef = sub { $context = wantarray(); 'code' };
  my $object  = My::Class->new( attr => $coderef );
  
  # Calls: $coderef->( $object, 1, 2, 3 )
  my $result = $object->my_execute_method_list( 1, 2, 3 );
  
  say Dumper( $result );  ## ==> [ 'code' ]
  say $context;           ## ==> true

Calls the coderef as if it were a method, passing any arguments, and forcing scalar context.

  my $context;
  my $coderef = sub { $context = wantarray(); 'code' };
  my $object  = My::Class->new( attr => $coderef );
  
  # Calls: $coderef->( $object, 1, 2, 3 )
  my $result = $object->my_execute_method_scalar( 1, 2, 3 );
  
  say $result;  ## ==> 'code'
  say $context; ## ==> false

Calls the coderef as if it were a method, passing any arguments, and forcing void context. Returns undef.

  my $context;
  my $coderef = sub { $context = wantarray(); 'code' };
  my $object  = My::Class->new( attr => $coderef );
  
  # Calls: $coderef->( $object, 1, 2, 3 )
  my $result = $object->my_execute_method_void( 1, 2, 3 );
  
  say $result;  ## ==> undef
  say $context; ## ==> undef

Calls the coderef, passing it any arguments, and forcing scalar context.

  my $context;
  my $coderef = sub { $context = wantarray(); 'code' };
  my $object  = My::Class->new( attr => $coderef );
  
  # Calls: $coderef->( 1, 2, 3 )
  my $result = $object->my_execute_scalar( 1, 2, 3 );
  
  say $result;  ## ==> 'code'
  say $context; ## ==> false

Calls the coderef, passing it any arguments, and forcing void context. Returns undef.

  my $context;
  my $coderef = sub { $context = wantarray(); 'code' };
  my $object  = My::Class->new( attr => $coderef );
  
  # Calls: $coderef->( 1, 2, 3 )
  my $result = $object->my_execute_void( 1, 2, 3 );
  
  say $result;  ## ==> undef
  say $context; ## ==> undef

The execute_method handler allows a class to effectively provide certain methods which can be overridden by parameters in the constructor.
