Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::Struct - Emulate Class::Struct SYNOPSIS
use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::Struct; struct ( simple => '$', ordered => '@', mapping => '%', obj_ref => 'FooObject' ); DESCRIPTION
This module emulates the functionality of Class::Struct by munging the provided field-declaration arguments to match those expected by Class::MakeMethods. It supports the same four types of accessors, the choice of array-based or hash-based objects, and the choice of installing methods in the current package or a specified target. EXAMPLE
The below three declarations create equivalent methods for a simple hash-based class with a constructor and four accessors. use Class::Struct; struct ( simple => '$', ordered => '@', mapping => '%', obj_ref => 'FooObject' ); use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::Struct; struct ( simple => '$', ordered => '@', mapping => '%', obj_ref => 'FooObject' ); use Class::MakeMethods ( -MakerClass => 'Standard::Array', 'new' => 'new', 'scalar' => 'simple', 'array -auto_init 1' => 'ordered', 'hash -auto_init 1' => 'mapping', 'object -auto_init 1' => '-class FooObject obj_ref' ); COMPATIBILITY
This module aims to offer a "95% compatible" drop-in replacement for the core Class::Struct module for purposes of comparison and code migration. The "class-struct.t" test for the core Class::Struct module is included with this package. The test is unchanged except for the a direct substitution of this emulator's name in the place of the core module. However, there are numerous internal differences between the methods generated by the original Class::Struct and this emulator, and some existing code may not work correctly without modification.
