NAME

       Class::MakeMethods::Template::StructBuiltin - generates a wrapper around some builtin
       function

SYNOPSIS

         use Class::MakeMethods::Template::StructBuiltin (
           -TargetClass => 'MyStat',
           builtin_isa => [
             '-{new_function}'=>'stat',
               qw/ dev ino mode nlink /
           ]
         );

DESCRIPTION

       This class generates a wrapper around some builtin function, storing the results in the
       object and providing a by-name interface.

       Takes a (core) function name, and a arrayref of return position names (we will call it
       pos_list).  Creates:

       new Calls the core func with any given arguments, stores the result in the instance.

       x   For each member of pos_list, creates a method of the same name which gets/sets the nth
           member of the returned list, where n is the position of x in pos_list.

       fields
           Returns pos_list, in the given order.

       dump
           Returns a list item name, item value, in order.

       Example Usage:

         package Stat;

         use Class::MakeMethods::Template::StructBuiltin
           builtin_isa => [ '-{new_function}'=>'stat', qw/ dev ino mode nlink / ],

         package main;

         my $file = "$ENV{HOME}/.template";
         my $s = Stat->new($file);
         print "File $file has ", $s->nlink, " links\n";

       Note that (a) the new method does not check the return value of the function called (in
       the above example, if $file does not exist, you will silently get an empty object), and
       (b) if you really want the above example, see the core File::stat module.   But you get
       the idea, I hope.
