6 "Object::Pad::MOP::Slot" - meta-object representation of data slot of a
7 "Object::Pad" class
8
10 Instances of this class represent a data slot of a class implemented by
11 Object::Pad. Accessors provide information about the slot. The special
12 "value" method allows access to the value of the given slot on
13 instances of its class, letting the meta-object be used as a proxy to
14 it.
15
16 This API should be considered experimental even within the overall
17 context in which "Object::Pad" is expermental.

33 $current = $metaslot->value( $instance )
34 @current = $metaslot->value( $instance )
35 %current = $metaslot->value( $instance )
36
37 An accessor method which returns the current value of the slot from an
38 object instance.

40 $metaslot->value( $instance ) = $new
