[wxperl-users] mixing positional and named parameters

[Eric W. <scr...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm still not sure what I'm doing with the declarative syntax, but I'm 
currently working on a module that will create constructors with 1-2 
required parameters, followed by key => value pairs.  This is just a 
dump of the autogenerated pod chunk which will accompany it.

Basically, I'm tired of looking at '-1,' and 'wxDefaultPosition'.  This 
lets me jump straight to the style parameter.  Additionally, the code 
which does the mapping from names to indices should be useful in 
something like an xrc replacement where everything is named parameters.

Let me know if there's anything glaringly wrong about that chunk of pod.

At the moment, the only classes that I'm mapping are the ones that match 
newFull() in the XS source.  The code for this is at:

http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/WxPerl-Constructors/trunk/build/xs_proto_map

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
Eric
