.SH "NAME"
pmeth \- show a Perl class's methods
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Given a class name, print out all methods available to that class.
It does this by loading in the class module, and walking its
symbol table and those of its ancestor classes.  A regular method
call shows up simply:
.PP
.Vb 5
\&    $ pmeth IO::Socket | grep \*(Aq^con\*(Aq
\&    confess
\&    configure
\&    connect
\&    connected
.Ve
.PP
But one that came from else where is noted with one or
more \*(L"via\*(R" notations:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    DESTROY via IO::Handle
\&    export via Exporter via IO::Handle
.Ve
.PP
A base-class method that is unavailable due to being hidden by a close
derived-class method by the same name (but accessible via \s-1SUPER::\s0)
is indicated by a leading \*(L"[overridden]\*(R" before it:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    [overridden] new via IO::Handle
.Ve
.PP
Constants declared via constant have a leading \*(L"[constant]\*(R" added
to the output, but \s-1XS\s0 \f(CW\*(C`define\*(C'\fR's are not yet so flagged.

.SH "NOTE"
.IX Header "NOTE"
Perl makes no distinction between functions, procedures, and methods,
nor whether they are public or nominally private, nor whether a method
is nominally a class method, an object method, or both.  They all show up
as subs in the package namespace.  So if your class says \f(CW\*(C`use Carp\*(C'\fR, you
just polluted your namespace with things like \fBcroak()\fR and \fBconfess()\fR, which
will appear to be available as method calls on objects of your class.
