# Class::MOP::Object(3pm)

Base class for metaclasses

## NAME

Class::MOP::Object - Base class for metaclasses

## VERSION

version 2.4001

## DESCRIPTION

This class is a very minimal base class for metaclasses.

## METHODS

This class provides a few methods which are useful in all metaclasses.

### Class::MOP::???-\>meta

This returns a Class::MOP::Class object.

### $metaobject-\>dump($max\_depth)

This method uses Data::Dumper to dump the object. You can pass an optional maximum depth, which will set `$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth`. The default maximum depth is 1.

### $metaclass-\>throw\_error($message)

This method calls "\_throw\_exception" in Class::MOP::Mixin internally, with an object of class Moose::Exception::Legacy.
