It is used for creating accessors to class data that overridable in subclasses as well as in class instances. For example: Pere::Ubu->mk_classaccessor('Suitcase'); will generate the method Suitcase() in the class Pere::Ubu. This new method can be used to get and set a piece of class data. Pere::Ubu->Suitcase('Red'); $suitcase = Pere::Ubu->Suitcase; Taking this one step further, you can make a subclass that inherits from Pere::Ubu: package Raygun; use base qw(Pere::Ubu); # Raygun's suitcase is Red. $suitcase = Raygun->Suitcase; Raygun inherits its Suitcase class data from Pere::Ubu. Inheritance of class data works analogous to method inheritance. As long as Raygun does not "override" its inherited class data (by using Suitcase() to set a new value) it will continue to use whatever is set in Pere::Ubu and inherit further changes: # Both Raygun's and Pere::Ubu's suitcases are now Blue Pere::Ubu->Suitcase('Blue'); However, should Raygun decide to set its own Suitcase() it has now "overridden" Pere::Ubu and is on its own, just like if it had overridden a method: # Raygun has an orange suitcase, Pere::Ubu's is still Blue. Raygun->Suitcase('Orange'); Now that Raygun has overridden Pere::Ubu, further changes by Pere::Ubu no longer effect Raygun. # Raygun still has an orange suitcase, but Pere::Ubu is using Samsonite. Pere::Ubu->Suitcase('Samsonite'); You can also override this class data on a per-object basis. If $obj isa Pere::Ubu then $obj->Suitcase; # will return Samsonite $obj->Suitcase('Purple'); # will set Suitcase *for this object only* And after you've done that, $obj->Suitcase; # will return Purple but Pere::Ubu->Suitcase; # will still return Samsonite If you don't want this behaviour use Class::Data::Inheritable instead. 'mk_classaccessor' will die if used as an object method instead of as a class method. %prep %autosetup -n %{cpan_name}-%{cpan_version} %build PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1 perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor %make_build %check make test %install %perl_make_install %perl_process_packlist %perl_gen_filelist %files -f %{name}.files %doc Changes README %changelog
