       A mixin factory generates new classes at run-time which inherit from each of several classes.

PUBLIC METHODS

       new()
	     $factory_class->new() : $factory
	     $factory_class->new( %attributes ) : $factory

	   Create a new factory object.

	   May be passed a hash of attributes, with the key matching one of the supported accessor methods named below and the value containing
	   the value to assign.

       base_class()
	     $factory->base_class() : $package_name
