Class::MakeMethods::Template::Generic Perl module contains templates for common meta-method types.

SYNOPSIS

package MyObject;
use Class::MakeMethods (
Template::Hash:new => [ new ],
Template::Hash:scalar => [ foo ]
Template::Static:scalar => [ bar ]
);

package main;

my $obj = MyObject->new( foo => "Foozle", bar => "Bozzle" );
print $obj->foo();
$obj->bar("Bamboozle");

This package provides a variety of abstract interfaces for constructors and accessor methods, which form a common foundation for meta-methods provided by the Hash, Scalar, Flyweight, Static, PackageVar, and ClassVar implementations.

Generally speaking, the Generic meta-methods define calling interfaces and behaviors which are bound to differently scoped data by each of those subclasses.

new Constructor

There are several types of hash-based object constructors to choose from.
Each of these methods creates and returns a reference to a new blessed instance. They differ in how their (optional) arguments are interpreted to set initial values, and in how they operate when called as class or instance methods.
