SYNOPSIS

12         package MyClass;
13
14         # use Class::MOP::Class
15         use metaclass;
16
17         # ... or use a custom metaclass
18         use metaclass 'MyMetaClass';
19
20         # ... or use a custom metaclass
21         # and custom attribute and method
22         # metaclasses
23         use metaclass 'MyMetaClass' => (
24             'attribute_metaclass' => 'MyAttributeMetaClass',
25             'method_metaclass'    => 'MyMethodMetaClass',
26         );
27
28         # ... or just specify custom attribute
29         # and method classes, and Class::MOP::Class
30         # is the assumed metaclass
31         use metaclass (
32             'attribute_metaclass' => 'MyAttributeMetaClass',
33             'method_metaclass'    => 'MyMethodMetaClass',
34         );
35
36         # if we'd rather not install a 'meta' method, we can do this
37         use metaclass meta_name => undef;
38         # or if we'd like it to have a different name,
39         use metaclass meta_name => 'my_meta';

DESCRIPTION

42       This is a pragma to make it easier to use a specific metaclass and a
43       set of custom attribute and method metaclasses. It also installs a
44       "meta" method to your class as well, unless "undef" is passed to the
45       "meta_name" option.
46
47       Note that if you are using Moose, you most likely do not want to be
48       using this - look into Moose::Util::MetaRole instead.
