oracular (3) Class::Accessor::Lvalue.3pm.gz

NAME

       Class::Accessor::Lvalue - create Lvalue accessors

SYNOPSIS

        package Foo;
        use base qw( Class::Accessor::Lvalue );
        __PACKAGE__->mk_accessors(qw( bar ))

        my $foo = Foo->new;
        $foo->bar = 42;
        print $foo->bar; # prints 42

DESCRIPTION

       This module subclasses Class::Accessor in order to provide lvalue accessor makers.

CAVEATS

       •   Though Class::Accessor mutators allows for the setting of multiple values to an attribute, the
           mutators that this module creates handle single scalar values only.  This should not be too much of a
           hinderance as you can still explicitly use an anonymous array.

       •   Due to the hoops we have to jump through to preserve the Class::Accessor ->get and ->set behaviour
           this module is potentially slow.  Should you not need the flexibility granted by the ->get and ->set
           methods, it's highly reccomended that you use Class::Accessor::Lvalue::Fast which is simpler and much
           faster.
