I'm working in a package namespace that is rather
far down the pipe: name1::name2::name3::name4
This is to prevent namespace pollution at the top
level, where it could conceivably collide with
other namespaces.
The annoyance is that I'm working on a parsing grammar,
where every rule in the grammar gets its own namespace
under the name1::name2::name3::name4 umbrella.
and its rather annoying to have to say:
#############################################
package name1::name2::name3::name4::rule1;
sub parse {
name1::name2::name3::name4::rule2::parse
and name1::name2::name3::name4::rule3::parse
and name1::name2::name3::name4::rule4::parse;
}
package name1::name2::name3::name4::rule2;
sub parse {
name1::name2::name3::name4::rule5::parse
and name1::name2::name3::name4::rule6::parse
}
#############################################
is there a subpackage function (OK, I know it
doesn't exist, but something like it) that would
declare a namespace under the CURRENT namespace?
so my module could say something like this:
package name1::name2::name3::name4;
subpackage rule1;
sub parse {
rule2::parse
and rule3::parse
and rule4::parse;
}
subpackage rule2;
sub parse {
rule5::parse
and rule6::parse;
}
Or something similar?
it's a bit of a drag having to put the entire
name in there every single time...
