.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This recipe shows how the \f(CW\*(C`augment\*(C'\fR method modifier works. This
modifier reverses the normal subclass to parent method resolution
order. With an \f(CW\*(C`augment\*(C'\fR modifier the \fIleast\fR specific method is
called first. Each successive call to \f(CW\*(C`inner\*(C'\fR descends the
inheritance tree, ending at the most specific subclass.
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`augment\*(C'\fR modifier lets you design a parent class that can be
extended in a specific way. The parent provides generic wrapper
functionality, and the subclasses fill in the details.
.PP
In the example above, we've created a set of document classes, with
the most specific being the \f(CW\*(C`TPSReport\*(C'\fR class.
.PP
We start with the least specific class, \f(CW\*(C`Document::Page\*(C'\fR. Its create
method contains a call to \f(CWinner()\fR:
.PP
.Vb 6
\&  sub create {
\&      my $self = shift;
\&      $self\->open_page;
\&      inner();
\&      $self\->close_page;
\&  }
.Ve
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`inner\*(C'\fR function is exported by \f(CW\*(C`Moose\*(C'\fR, and is like \f(CW\*(C`super\*(C'\fR
for augmented methods. When \f(CW\*(C`inner\*(C'\fR is called, Moose finds the next
method in the chain, which is the \f(CW\*(C`augment\*(C'\fR modifier in
\&\f(CW\*(C`Document::PageWithHeadersAndFooters\*(C'\fR. You'll note that we can call
\&\f(CW\*(C`inner\*(C'\fR in our modifier:
.PP
.Vb 6
\&  augment \*(Aqcreate\*(Aq => sub {
\&      my $self = shift;
\&      $self\->create_header;
\&      inner();
\&      $self\->create_footer;
\&  };
.Ve
.PP
This finds the next most specific modifier, in the \f(CW\*(C`TPSReport\*(C'\fR class.
.PP
Finally, in the \f(CW\*(C`TPSReport\*(C'\fR class, the chain comes to an end:
.PP
.Vb 5
\&  augment \*(Aqcreate\*(Aq => sub {
\&      my $self = shift;
\&      $self\->create_tps_report;
\&      inner();
\&  };
.Ve
.PP
We do call the \f(CW\*(C`inner\*(C'\fR function one more time, but since there is no
more specific subclass, this is a no-op. Making this call means we can
easily subclass \f(CW\*(C`TPSReport\*(C'\fR in the future.
.SH CONCLUSION
.IX Header "CONCLUSION"
The \f(CW\*(C`augment\*(C'\fR modifier is a powerful tool for creating a set of
nested wrappers. It's not something you will need often, but when you
do, it is very handy.
