Summary: Generate common types of methods
Description:
The Class::MakeMethods framework allows Perl class developers to quickly define common types of methods. When a module uses Class::MakeMethods or one of its subclasses, it can select from a variety of supported method types, and specify a name for each method desired. The methods are dynamically generated and installed in the calling package. Construction of the individual methods is handled by subclasses. This delegation approach allows for a wide variety of method-generation techniques to be supported, each by a different subclass. Subclasses can also be added to provide support for new types of methods. Over a dozen subclasses are available, including implementations of a variety of different method-generation techniques. Each subclass generates several types of methods, with some supporting their own open-eneded extension syntax, for hundreds of possible combinations of method types.
