18 This document describes the various subclasses of Class::MakeMethods
19 included under the Composite::* namespace, and the method types each
20 one provides.
21
22 The Composite subclasses provide a parameterized set of method-genera‐
23 tion implementations.
24
25 Subroutines are generated as closures bound to a hash containing the
26 method name and additional parameters, including the arrays of subrou‐
27 tine references that will provide the method's functionality.
28
29 Calling Conventions
30
31 When you "use" this package, the method names you provide as arguments
32 cause subroutines to be generated and installed in your module.
33
34 See "Calling Conventions" in Class::MakeMethods::Standard for more
35 information.
36
37 Declaration Syntax
38
39 To declare methods, pass in pairs of a method-type name followed by one
40 or more method names.
41
42 Valid method-type names for this package are listed in "METHOD GENERA‐
43 TOR TYPES".
44
45 See "Declaration Syntax" in Class::MakeMethods::Standard and "Parameter
46 Syntax" in Class::MakeMethods::Standard for more information.

48 About Composite Methods
49
50 The methods generated by Class::MakeMethods::Composite are assembled
51 from groups of "fragment" subroutines, each of which provides some
52 aspect of the method's behavior.
53
54 You can add pre- and post- operations to any composite method.

64 croak "Too many arguments" if ( scalar @_ > 2 );
65 }
66 ],
