Data::SExpression::Symbol(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Data::SExpression::Symbol(3)

Data::SExpression::Symbol -- A Lisp symbol read by Data::SExpression

A Data::SExpression::Symbol represents a lisp symbol. Symbols are usually used as opaque objects that can be compared with each other, but are not intended to be used for other operations.

There are two kinds of symbols, "interned", and "uninterned". Most symbols are "interned". There is only ever one "interned" instance of the "Symbol" class for a given name.

Interned symbols stringify to their ->name. Uninterned symbols stringify to "#:$name", after the Common Lisp convention.

Interned symbols are eq to their name. Uninterned symbols are not eq to anything except themself.

Returns a new interned symbol with the given NAME

Returns a new uninterned symbol with the given NAME

Returns the symbol's name, as passed to "new" or "uninterned".

Returned true iff the symbol is interned
