Overview

This is a subclass of "Class::MOP::Method" which is used by "Class::MOP::Attribute" to generate accessor code. It handles generation of readers, writers, predicates and clearers. For each type of method, it can either create a subroutine reference, or actually inline code by generating a string and "eval"'ing it.

Methods

Class::MOP::Method::Accessor->new(%options)

This returns a new "Class::MOP::Method::Accessor" based on the %options provided.

attribute

This is the "Class::MOP::Attribute" for which accessors are being generated. This option is required.

•

accessor_type

This is a string which should be one of "reader", "writer", "accessor", "predicate", or "clearer". This is the type of method being generated. This option is required.

•

is_inline

This indicates whether or not the accessor should be inlined. This defaults to false.
