# Class::Accessor::Lvalue(3pm)

create Lvalue accessors

## NAME

Class::Accessor::Lvalue - create Lvalue accessors

## SYNOPSIS

```
 package Foo;
 use base qw( Class::Accessor::Lvalue );
 __PACKAGE__->mk_accessors(qw( bar ))
 my $foo = Foo->new;
 $foo->bar = 42;
 print $foo->bar; # prints 42
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module subclasses Class::Accessor in order to provide lvalue accessor makers.

## CAVEATS

- •

  Though Class::Accessor mutators allows for the setting of multiple values to an attribute, the mutators that this module creates handle single scalar values only.  This should not be too much of a hinderance as you can still explicitly use an anonymous array.

- •

  Due to the hoops we have to jump through to preserve the Class::Accessor -\>get and -\>set behaviour this module is potentially slow.  Should you not need the flexibility granted by the -\>get and -\>set methods, it's highly reccomended that you use Class::Accessor::Lvalue::Fast which is simpler and much faster.
