capitalization(3) - Linux man page

Name

capitalization - no capitalization on method names

Synopsis

use XML::DOM;
no capitalization 'XML::DOM';

my $parser = XML::DOM::Parser->new;

# no capitalization ..
my $nodes = $parser->get_elements_by_tag_name("Foo");

# this can be OK
my $nodes = $parser->getElementsByTagName("Foo");

Description

capitalization.pm allows you to use familiar style on method naming.

Rules

Lower case character followed by upper case sequence would be splitted with "_" and upper case sequence would be lower cased. Example: "fooBar" would be "foo_bar".

All other upper case characters would be lower cased. Examples: "FOOs" would be "foos", "_Foo" would be "_foo".

Caveats

"no capitalization __PACKAGE__;"

If you want use capitalization pragma in module and add lower case API in the module itself, then you should use pragma after all subs are defined.
