NAME
       Class::MakeMethods::Template::Scalar - Methods for blessed scalars

SYNOPSIS
	 package MyObject;
	 use Class::MakeMethods::Template::ExternalData (
	   new		   => 'new',
	   scalar	   => 'foo',
	 );

	 package main;

	 my $obj = MyObject->new( foo => "Foozle" );
	 print $obj->foo();	       # Prints Foozle
	 $obj->foo("Bamboozle");       # Sets $$obj
	 print $obj->foo();	       # Prints Bamboozle

DESCRIPTION
       Supports the Generic object constructor and accessors meta-method types, but uses scalar refs as the underlying implementation type, so
       only one accessor method can be used effectively.

   Standard Methods
       The following methods from Generic are all supported:

	 new
	 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.

       However, note that due to special nature of this package, all accessor methods reference the same scalar value, so setting a value with one
       method will overwrite the value retrieved by another.
