class PseudoStash is Map { }
PseudoStash
is the stash type (hanging off .WHO
) that backs various pseudo-packages. So, when you do MY::
or CALLER::
, that gives back a PseudoStash
. In most cases, Package::
gives back a Stash
. Neither of these are objects the user is expected to create by themselves, but in case you have one, you can just use it like a hash.
my $a = 42; my $b = q/$a/; say MY::{$b}; # OUTPUT: «42»
This shows how you can use a PseudoStash
to look up variables, by name, at runtime.
