111 Extension Objects
112 Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
113 for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter
114 to hooks. So extensions can use their $self object without having to
115 think about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members
116 that begin with an underscore character "_": these are reserved for
117 internal use.
118
119 Although it isn't a "urxvt::term" object, you can call all methods of
120 the "urxvt::term" class on this object.
121
122 It has the following methods and data members:
123
124 $urxvt_term = $self->{term}
125 Returns the "urxvt::term" object associated with this instance of
126 the extension. This member *must not* be changed in any way.
127
128 $self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])
129 Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the "on_" prefix)
130 for this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when
131 you want to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
132
133 $self->disable ($hook_name[, $hook_name..])
134 Dynamically disable the given hooks.
135

103 be called whenever the relevant event happens. 138 be called whenever the relevant event happens.

105 The first argument passed to them is an object private to each terminal 140 The first argument passed to them is an extension oject as described in
106 and extension package. You can call all "urxvt::term" methods on it, but 141 the in the "Extension Objects" section.
107 its not a real "urxvt::term" object. Instead, the real "urxvt::term"
108 object that is shared between all packages is stored in the "term"
109 member. It is, however, blessed intot he package of the extension
110 script, so for all practical purposes you can treat an extension script
111 as a class.
