Class::Accessor::Fast::Contained 0.05

Class::Accessor::Fast::Contained is a Perl module for fast accessors with data containment.

SYNOPSIS

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

# The rest is the same as Class::Accessor::Fast

This module does two things differently to the venerable Class::Accessor::Fast :

Fields are stored at arms-length within a single hash value of $self, rather than directly in the $self blessed referent.
new() allows mixin into an existing object, rather than creating and returning a new blessed hashref. To do this, just call something like:

my $self = Some::Other::Class->new;
$self = $self->Class::Accessor::Fast::Contained::new;

Note that the mixin code only supports objects which use a blessed hash reference or a blessed typeglob reference.
An alias setup() is available which does the same as new() but might make more sense if being used in this way.
