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.
