Update of /cvsroot/pkgsrc/devel/p5-Method-Signatures
In directory ivanova.netbsd.org:/tmp/cvs-serv4051

Log Message:
Importing package for CPAN module Method::Signatures 20111020 into
devel/p5-Method-Signatures to let developers use new keywords func and
methods when writing scripts or modules for the Perl programming language.

This package is a dependency of scheduled update of devel/p5-Git-CPAN-Patch
to 0.7.0.

Method::Signatures provides two new keywords, func and method, so that you
can write subroutines with signatures instead of having to spell out my
    $self = shift; my($thing) = @_

* func is like sub but takes a signature where the prototype would normally
  go. This takes the place of my($foo, $bar) = @_ and does a whole lot more.

* method is like func but specifically for making methods. It will
  automatically provide the invocant as $self. No more my $self = shift.

Also allows signatures, very similar to Perl 6 signatures.

Also does type checking, understanding all the types that Moose (or Mouse) 
would understand.

And it does all this with no source filters.
