NAME

6       Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors - Emulate the accessors module
7

SYNOPSIS

9         package Foo;
10         use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors qw( foo bar baz );
11
12         my $obj = bless {}, 'Foo';
13
14         # generates chaining accessors:
15         $obj->foo( 'hello ' )
16             ->bar( 'world' )
17             ->baz( "!\n" );
18
19         print $obj->foo, $obj->bar, $obj->baz;
20
21       This module also defines subpackages for the classic and chaining sub‐
22       classes:
23
24         package Bar;
25         use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors;
26         use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors::classic qw( foo bar baz );
27
28         my $obj = bless {}, 'Bar';
29
30         # always return the current value, even on set:
31         $obj->foo( 'hello ' ) if $obj->bar( 'world' );
32
33         print $obj->foo, $obj->bar, $obj->baz( "!\n" );
34

DESCRIPTION

36       This module emulates the functionality of the accessors module, using
37       Class::MakeMethods to generate similar methods.
38
39       In particular, the following lines are equivalent:
40
41         use accessors 'foo';
42         use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Hash 'scalar --get_set_chain' => 'foo';
43
44         use accessors::chained 'foo';
45         use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Hash 'scalar --get_set_chain' => 'foo';
46
47         use accessors::classic 'foo';
48         use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Hash 'scalar' => 'foo';
49
50       You may use this module directly, as shown in the SYNOPSIS above,
51
52       Furthermore, you may call "use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors
53       '-take_namespace';" to alias the accessors namespace to this package,
54       and subsequent calls to the original package will be transparently han‐
55       dled by this emulator. To remove the emulation aliasing, call "use
56       Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors '-release_namespace'".  The
57       same mechanism is also available for the classic and chained sub‐
58       classes.
59
60       Caution: This affects all subsequent uses of the accessors module in
61       your program, including those in other modules, and might cause unex‐
62       pected effects.
