NAME

6       "Object::Pad::MOP::Slot" - meta-object representation of data slot of a
7       "Object::Pad" class
8

DESCRIPTION

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.

METHODS

20   name
21          $name = $metaslot->name
22
23       Returns the name of the slot, as a plain string including the leading
24       sigil character.
25
26   class
27          $metaclass = $metaslot->class
28
29       Returns the Object::Pad::MOP::Class instance representing the class of
30       which this slot is a member.
31
32   value
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.
39
40          $metaslot->value( $instance ) = $new
41
42       On scalar slots, this method can also act as an lvalue mutator allowing
43       a new value to be set.
