MakeMethods::Template:UsereContributed PeMakeMethods::Template::Inheritable(3)NAMEClass::MakeMethods::Template::Inheritable - Overridable data
SYNOPSIS
package MyClass;
use Class::MakeMethods( 'Template::Inheritable:scalar' => 'foo' );
# We now have an accessor method for an "inheritable" scalar value
MyClass->foo( 'Foozle' ); # Set a class-wide value
print MyClass->foo(); # Retrieve class-wide value
my $obj = MyClass->new(...);
print $obj->foo(); # All instances "inherit" that value...
$obj->foo( 'Foible' ); # until you set a value for an instance.
print $obj->foo(); # This now finds object-specific value.
...
package MySubClass;
@ISA = 'MyClass';
print MySubClass->foo(); # Intially same as superclass,
MySubClass->foo('Foobar'); # but overridable per subclass,
print $subclass_obj->foo(); # and shared by its instances
$subclass_obj->foo('Fosil');# until you override them...
...
DESCRIPTION
The MakeMethods subclass provides accessor methods that search an
inheritance tree to find a value. This allows you to set a shared or
default value for a given class, and optionally override it in a
subclass.
Standard Methods
The following methods from Generic should be supported:
scalar
string
string_index (?)
number
boolean (?)
bits (?)
array (?)
hash (?)
tiedhash (?)
hash_of_arrays (?)
object (?)
instance (?)
array_of_objects (?)
code (?)
code_or_scalar (?)
See Class::MakeMethods::Template::Generic for the interfaces and
behaviors of these method types.
The items marked with a * above are specifically defined in this
package, whereas the others are formed automatically by the interaction
of this package's generic settings with the code templates provided by
the Generic superclass.
The items marked with a ? above have not been tested sufficiently;
please inform the author if they do not function as you would expect.

various accessor interfaces subclassed herein.
If you just need scalar accessors, see Class::Data::Inheritable for a
very elegant and efficient implementation.
