18 This module emulates the functionality of Class::Singleton, using
19 Class::MakeMethods to generate similar methods.
20
21 You may use it directly, as shown in the SYNOPSIS above,
22
23 Furthermore, you may call "use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::Singleton
24 '-take_namespace';" to alias the Class::Singleton namespace to this
25 package, and subsequent calls to the original package will be
26 transparently handled by this emulator. To remove the emulation
27 aliasing, call "use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::Singleton
28 '-release_namespace'".
29
30 Caution: This affects all subsequent uses of Class::Singleton in your
31 program, including those in other modules, and might cause unexpected
32 effects.

35 A Singleton describes an object class that can have only one instance
36 in any system. An example of a Singleton might be a print spooler or
37 system registry. This module implements a Singleton class from which
38 other classes can be derived. By itself, the Class::Singleton module
39 does very little other than manage the instantiation of a single
40 object. In deriving a class from Class::Singleton, your module will
41 inherit the Singleton instantiation method and can implement whatever
42 specific functionality is required.
