NAME

6       Class::MakeMethods::Docs::Catalog - List of Makable Method Types
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This document lists the various subclasses of Class::MakeMethods
10       included in this distribution, and the method types each one provides.
11
12       See the documentation for each implementation for more details about
13       the features it provides.
14
15       For each class, a parenthetical comment indicates whether the methods
16       it generates are applicable to individual blessed objects (Instances),
17       to class data (Global), or both (Any) =head2 Scoping
18
19       The final part of the name of a method-generating subclass typically
20       indicates the scope or applicability of the methods it generates
21

428
429   Template::PackageVar (Global)
430       PackageVar methods access a variable in the declaring package. Thus,
431       they have the same effect as Static methods, while keeping their value
432       accessible via the symbol table.  See
433       Class::MakeMethods::Template::PackageVar.

446
447   Template::Class (Global)
448       Class methods are similar to Static methods, except that each subclass
449       and its instances will access a distinct value. See
450       Class::MakeMethods::Template::Class.

464   Template::ClassVar (Global)
465       ClassVar methods access a variable in the package on which they are
466       called.  Thus, they have the same effect as Class methods, while
467       keeping their value accessible via the symbol table, like PackageVar.

482   Template::ClassInherit (Global)
483       ClassInherit methods are an intermediate point between Static and Class
484       methods; subclasses inherit their superclass's value until they set
485       their own value, after which they become distinct. See
486       Class::MakeMethods::Template::ClassInherit.

500   Template::Inheritable (Any)
501       Methods for manipulating data which may be overridden per class or
502       instance. Uses external data storage, so it works with objects of any
503       underlying data type.  See Class::MakeMethods::Template::Inheritable
504       for details.
