NAME

       Class::Accessor::Fast - Faster, but less expandable, accessors

SYNOPSIS

         package Foo;
         use base qw(Class::Accessor::Fast);

         # The rest is the same as Class::Accessor but without set() and get().

DESCRIPTION

       This is a faster but less expandable version of Class::Accessor.  Class::Accessor's
       generated accessors require two method calls to accompish their task (one for the
       accessor, another for get() or set()).  Class::Accessor::Fast eliminates calling
       set()/get() and does the access itself, resulting in a somewhat faster accessor.

       The downside is that you can't easily alter the behavior of your accessors, nor can your
       subclasses.  Of course, should you need this later, you can always swap out
       Class::Accessor::Fast for Class::Accessor.

       Read the documentation for Class::Accessor for more info.
