NAME

       Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors - Emulate the accessors module

SYNOPSIS

         package Foo;
         use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors qw( foo bar baz );

         my $obj = bless {}, 'Foo';

         # generates chaining accessors:
         $obj->foo( 'hello ' )
             ->bar( 'world' )
             ->baz( "!\n" );

         print $obj->foo, $obj->bar, $obj->baz;

       This module also defines subpackages for the classic and chaining subclasses:

         package Bar;
         use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors;
         use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors::classic qw( foo bar baz );

         my $obj = bless {}, 'Bar';

         # always return the current value, even on set:
         $obj->foo( 'hello ' ) if $obj->bar( 'world' );

         print $obj->foo, $obj->bar, $obj->baz( "!\n" );

DESCRIPTION

       This module emulates the functionality of the accessors module, using Class::MakeMethods
       to generate similar methods.

       In particular, the following lines are equivalent:

         use accessors 'foo';
         use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Hash 'scalar --get_set_chain' => 'foo';

         use accessors::chained 'foo';
         use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Hash 'scalar --get_set_chain' => 'foo';

         use accessors::classic 'foo';
         use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Hash 'scalar' => 'foo';

       You may use this module directly, as shown in the SYNOPSIS above,

       Furthermore, you may call "use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors '-take_namespace';"
       to alias the accessors namespace to this package, and subsequent calls to the original
       package will be transparently handled by this emulator. To remove the emulation aliasing,
       call "use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors '-release_namespace'".  The same
       mechanism is also available for the classic and chained subclasses.

       Caution: This affects all subsequent uses of the accessors module in your program,
       including those in other modules, and might cause unexpected effects.
