DESCRIPTION

This class provides automatic generation of accessor methods. It is a factory class that delegates the construction to the proper acessor type, which is provided with the new() constructors type option.

Common accessor types include:

  • Overrideable

See Class::Dot::Meta::Accessor::Overrideable

  • Chained

  • Constrained

See Class::Dot::Meta::Accessor::Constrained

All accessor types uses the base class Class::Dot::Accessor::Base, which defines their interface.
