NAME

Class::Accessor::Lvalue - create Lvalue accessors

SYNOPSIS

 package Foo;
 use base qw( Class::Accessor::Lvalue );
 __PACKAGE__->mk_accessors(qw( bar ))
 my $foo = Foo->new;
 $foo->bar = 42;
 print $foo->bar; # prints 42

DESCRIPTION

This module subclasses Class::Accessor in order to provide lvalue accessor makers.

CAVEATS

• Though Class::Accessor mutators allows for the setting of multiple values to an attribute, the mutators that this module creates handle single scalar values only. This should not be too much of a hinderance as you can still explicitly use an anonymous array.
• Due to the hoops we have to jump through to preserve the Class::Accessor ->get and ->set behaviour this module is potentially slow. Should you not need the flexibility granted by the ->get and ->set methods, it's highly reccomended that you use Class::Accessor::Lvalue::Fast which is simpler and much faster.
