MRP::BaseClass 1.0

The aim of this package is to allow you to define a classes interface, and have perl generate all of the standard functions for you.

Major Features:

1. Fields: Member access functions are auto-generated so that nowhere in your code do you ever directly access member variables.
2. Package variables: Class functions are auto-generated to make package variables work like static class members.
3. Default variables: The package variable an be made to act as the default value for a field of the same name.
4. Delegation support: Simply specify which field is a delegate and which functions to delegate to it, and the glue code is auto-generated.
5. Provide dramatically better error messages when methods or static functions can not be found. Try invoking the < C -w > flag. It even lists possible correct spellings of misspelled function names!
6. The class definition in a BEGIN block is included at the end of the package. This allows the interface to be checked, and the code to be generated at compile time. This has the additional benefit that these checks are performed during a < C -c > compilation.

Requirements: Perl
