UNIVERSAL::moniker
use UNIVERSAL::moniker;
Class names in Perl often don't sound great when spoken, or look good when written in prose. For this reason, we tend to say things like "customer" or "basket" when we are referring to My::Site::User::Customer or My::Site::Shop::Basket. We thought it would be nice if our classes knew what we would prefer to call them.
My::Site::User::Customer
My::Site::Shop::Basket
This module will add a moniker (and plural_moniker) method to UNIVERSAL, and so to every class or module.
moniker
plural_moniker
UNIVERSAL
$ob->moniker;
Returns the moniker for $ob. So, if $ob->isa("Big::Scary::Animal"), moniker will return "animal".
$ob->plural_moniker;
Returns the plural moniker for $ob. So, if $ob->isa("Cephalopod::Octopus"), plural_moniker will return "octopuses".
(You need to install Lingua::EN::Inflect for this to work.)
