OR ... package MyObject; use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::MethodMaker '-take_namespace'; use Class::MethodMaker ( new_with_init => 'new', get_set => [ qw / foo bar baz / ]; ); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module provides emulation of Class::MethodMaker, using the Class::MakeMethods framework. Although originally based on Class::MethodMaker, the calling convention for Class::MakeMethods differs in a variety of ways; most notably, the names given to various types of methods have been changed, and the format for specifying method attributes has been standardized. This package uses the aliasing capability provided by Class::MakeMethods, defining methods that modify the declaration arguments as necessary and pass them off to various subclasses of Class::MakeMethods. =head1 COMPATIBILITY Full compatibility is maintained with version 1.03; some of the changes in versions 1.04 through 1.10 are not yet included. The test suite from Class::MethodMaker version 1.10 is included with this package, in the t/emulator_class_methodmaker/ directory. The unsupported tests have names ending in ".todo". The tests are unchanged from those in the Class::MethodMaker distribution, except for the substitution of C in the place of C. In cases where earlier distributions of Class::MethodMaker contained a different version of a test, it is also included. (Note that version 0.92's get_concat returned '' for empty values, but in version 0.96 this was changed to undef; this emulator follows the later behavior. To avoid "use of undefined value" warnings from the 0.92 version of get_concat.t, that test has been modified by appending a new flag after the name, C<'get_concat --noundef'>, which restores the earlier behavior.) =head1 USAGE There are several ways to call this emulation module: =over 4 =item * Direct Access Replace occurances in your code of C with C. =item * Install Emulation If you C, the Class::MethodMaker namespace will be aliased to this package, and calls to the original package will be transparently handled by this emulator. To remove the emulation aliasing, call C. B This affects B subsequent uses of Class::MethodMaker in your program, including those in other modules, and might cause unexpected effects. =item * The -sugar Option Passing '-sugar' as the first argument in a use or import call will cause the 'methods' package to be declared as an alias to this one. This allows you to write declarations in the following manner. use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::MethodMaker '-sugar'; make methods get_set => [ qw / foo bar baz / ], list => [ qw / a b c / ]; B This feature is deprecated in Class::MethodMaker version 0.96 and later. =back =cut my $emulation_target = 'Class::MethodMaker'; sub import { my $mm_class = shift; if ( scalar @_ and $_[0] =~ /^-take_namespace/ and shift ) { Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::namespace_capture(__PACKAGE__, $emulation_target); } elsif ( scalar @_ and $_[0] =~ /^-release_namespace/ and shift ) { Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::namespace_release(__PACKAGE__, $emulation_target); } if ( scalar @_ and $_[0] eq '-sugar' and shift ) { Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::namespace_capture(__PACKAGE__, "methods"); } $mm_class->make( @_ ) if ( scalar @_ ); } =head1 METHOD CATALOG B The documentation below is derived from version 1.02 of Class::MethodMaker.

Often this is simply a matter of replacing the names of aliased method-types listed below with the new equivalents. For example, suppose that you code contained the following declaration: use Class::MethodMaker ( counter => [ 'foo' ] ); Consulting the listings below you can find that C is an alias for C and you could thus revise your declaration to read: use Class::MakeMethods ( 'Hash:number --counter' => [ 'foo' ] ); However, note that those methods marked "(with custom interface)" below have a different default naming convention for helper methods in Class::MakeMethods, and you will need to either supply a similar interface or alter your module's calling interface. Also note that the C, C, and C method types, marked "(with modified arguments)" below, require their arguments to be specified differently. See L for more information about the default interfaces of these method types. =head2 Hash methods The following equivalencies are declared for old meta-method names that are now handled by the Hash implementation: new 'Template::Hash:new --with_values' new_with_init 'Template::Hash:new --with_init' new_hash_init 'Template::Hash:new --instance_with_methods' copy 'Template::Hash:copy' get_set 'Template::Hash:scalar' (with custom interfaces) counter 'Template::Hash:number --counter' get_concat 'Template::Hash:string --get_concat' (with custom interface) boolean 'Template::Hash:bits' (with custom interface) list 'Template::Hash:array' (with custom interface) struct 'Template::Hash:struct' hash 'Template::Hash:hash' (with custom interface) tie_hash 'Template::Hash:tiedhash' (with custom interface) hash_of_lists 'Template::Hash:hash_of_arrays' code 'Template::Hash:code' method 'Template::Hash:code --method' object 'Template::Hash:object' (with custom interface and modified arguments) object_list 'Template::Hash:array_of_objects' (with custom interface and modified arguments) key_attrib 'Template::Hash:string_index' key_with_create 'Template::Hash:string_index --find_or_new' =head2 Static methods The following equivalencies are declared for old meta-method names that are now handled by the Static implementation: static_get_set 'Template::Static:scalar' (with custom interface) static_hash 'Template::Static:hash' (with custom interface) =head2 Flyweight method The following equivalency is declared for the one old meta-method name that us now handled by the Flyweight implementation: listed_attrib 'Template::Flyweight:boolean_index' =head2 Struct methods The following equivalencies are declared for old meta-method names that are now handled by the Struct implementation: builtin_class 'Template::Struct:builtin_isa' =head2 Universal methods The following equivalencies are declared for old meta-method names that are now handled by the Universal implementation: abstract 'Template::Universal:croak --abstract' forward 'Template::Universal:forward_methods' (with modified arguments) =head1 EXTENDING In order to enable third-party subclasses of MethodMaker to run under this emulator, several aliases or stub replacements are provided for internal Class::MethodMaker methods which have been eliminated or renamed. =over 4 =item * install_methods - now simply return the desired methods =item * find_target_class - now passed in as the target_class attribute =item * ima_method_maker - no longer supported; use target_class instead =back =cut sub find_target_class { (shift)->_context('TargetClass') } sub get_target_class { (shift)->_context('TargetClass') } sub install_methods { (shift)->_install_methods(@_) } sub ima_method_maker { 1 } =head1 BUGS This module aims to provide a 100% compatible drop-in replacement for Class::MethodMaker; if you detect a difference when using this emulation, please inform the author. =head1 SEE ALSO See L for general information about this distribution.
