NAME

       UR::Object::Type::ModuleWriter - Helper module for UR::Object::Type responsible for writing Perl modules

DESCRIPTION

       Subroutines within this module actually live in the UR::Object::Type namespace;  this module is just a
       convienent place to collect them.  The Module Writer is used by the class updater system
       ((UR::Namespace::Command::Update::Classes and 'ur update classes) to add, remove and alter the Perl
       modules behind the classes within a Namespace.

METHODS

             $classobj->resolve_module_header_source();

           Returns  a  string  that  represents  a  fully-formed class definition the the given class metaobject
           $classobj.

       resolve_class_description_perl
             $classobj->resolve_class_description_perl()

           Used by resolve_module_header_source().  This method inspects all the applicable  properties  of  the
           class  metaobject and builds up a string that gets inserted between the {...} of the class definition
           string.

       rewrite_module_header
             $classobj->rewrite_module_header();

           This method rewrites an existing Perl module file in place for the class metaobject, or creates a new
           file if one does not already exist.

       module_base_name
           Returns the pathname of the class's module relative to  the  top  level  directory  of  that  class's
           Namespace.

       module_path
           Returns the fully qualified pathname of the class's module.

       module_source_lines
           Returns the text of the class's Perl module as a list of strings.

       module_source
           Returns the text of the class's Perl module as a single string.

       module_header_positions
           Returns  a 3-element list ($begin, $end, $use) where $begin is the line number where the class header
           begins.  $end is the line number where it ends.  $use is the line number where  the  module  declares
           that it use's a Namespace.

       module_header_source_lines
           Returns  the  text  of  the  class's  Perl  module  source where the class definition is as a list of
