NAME

       HTML::Mason::Component::Subcomponent - Mason Subcomponent Class

DESCRIPTION

       This is a subclass of HTML::Mason::Component. Mason uses it to implement both subcomponents (defined by
       "<%def>") and methods (defined by "<%method>").

       A subcomponent/method gets most of its properties from its owner. Note that the link from the
       subcomponent to its owner is a weak reference (to prevent circular references), so if you grab a
       subcomponent/method object, you should also grab and hold a reference to its owner. If the owner goes out
       of scope, the subcomponent/method object will become unusable.

METHODS

       is_method
           Returns 1 if this is a method (declared by "<%method>"), 0 if it is a subcomponent (defined by c<<
           <%def> >>).

       owner
           Returns the component object within which this subcomponent or method was defined.
