ExtUtils::XSpp::Node::Package - Node representing a Perl package

MODULE=$WhateverCurrentModule PACKAGE=Some::Perl::Namespace

## METHODS

### new

Creates a new `"ExtUtils::XSpp::Node::Package"`.

Named parameters: `"cpp_name"` indicating the C++ class name (if any), and `"perl_name"` indicating the name of the Perl package. If `"perl_name"` is not specified but `"cpp_name"` is, `"perl_name"` defaults to `"cpp_name"`.

## ACCESSORS

### cpp\_name

Returns the C++ name for the package (will be used for namespaces).

### perl\_name

### set\_perl\_name

Setter for the Perl package name.
