NAME

Acme::Isn't - Determine whether your objects are NOT a certain class.

SYNOPSIS

    use Acme::Isn't;
    use Some::OO::Module;
    my $obj = Some::Other::OO::Module->new();
    die EDOOFUS if $obj->isn't('Some::OO::Module');

DESCRIPTION

This module allows a programmer to determine conclusively whether their objects are not of a certain type. This sort of test can be useful to e.g. programmatically enforce inheritance hierarchies. This allows for much cleaner code than using unless and isa.

USAGE

Acme::Isn't is a bit magical. You can use the isn't method on any object you create, and just pass it a class name that you want to ensure that your object is not. isn't returns 1 if true, 0 if false.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This module was almost wholly inspired by Damian Conway's Acme::Don't module.
