NAME Class::Accessor::Children - Automated child-class/accessor generation SYNOPSIS BEFORE (WITHOUT THIS) package MyClass::Foo; use base qw( Class:Accessor ); __PACKAGE__->mk_ro_accessors(qw( jacob michael joshua ethan )); package MyClass::Bar; use base qw( Class:Accessor ); __PACKAGE__->mk_ro_accessors(qw( emily emma madison isabella )); package MyClass::Baz; use base qw( Class:Accessor ); __PACKAGE__->mk_ro_accessors(qw( haruka haruto miyu yuto )); AFTER (WITH THIS) package MyClass; use base qw( Class::Accessor::Children ); __PACKAGE__->mk_child_ro_accessors( Foo => [qw( jacob michael joshua ethan )], Bar => [qw( emily emma madison isabella )], Baz => [qw( haruka haruto miyu yuto )], ); DESCRIPTION This module automagically generates child classes which have accessor/mutator methods. This module inherits "Class::Accessor" to make accessors. METHODS This module provides the following methods in addition to all methods provided by "Class::Accessor". mk_child_accessors MyClass->mk_child_accessors( Foo => \@fields, ... ); This generates a child class named "MyClass::Foo" which have accessor/mutator methods each named in "\@fields". mk_child_ro_accessors MyClass->mk_child_ro_accessors( Bar => \@fields, ... ); This generates a child class named "MyClass::Bar" which have read-only accessors (ie. true accessors). mk_child_wo_accessors MyClass->mk_child_wo_accessors( Baz => \@fields, ... ); This generates a child class named "MyClass::Baz" which have write-only accessor (ie. mutators).
