namespace::autoclean 0.13

When you import a function into a Perl package, it will naturally also be available as a method.

namespace::autoclean is a Perl module that will remove all imported symbols at the end of the current package's compile cycle. Functions called in the package itself will still be bound by their name, but they won't show up as methods on your class or instances.

This module is very similar to namespace::clean, except it will clean all imported functions, no matter if you imported them before or after you used the pagma. It will also not touch anything that looks like a method, according to Class::MOP::Class::get_method_list.

If you're writing an exporter and you want to clean up after yourself (and your peers), you can use the -cleanee switch to specify what package to clean:

 package My::MooseX::namespace::autoclean;
 use strict;

 use namespace::autocleanclean (); # no cleanup, just load

 sub import {
 namespace::autoclean->import(
 -cleanee => scalar(caller),
 );
 }

SYNOPSIS

 package Foo;
 use namespace::autoclean;
 use Some::Package qw/imported_function/;

 sub bar { imported_function('stuff') }

 # later on:
 Foo->bar; # works
 Foo->imported_function; # will fail. imported_function got cleaned after compilation
