associative

Boolean flag. States that the returned attribute must be unique, associative MULTI. Defaults to 0. Only makes sense if type is MULTI and unique is true.

method_key

Boolean flag. States that the returned attribute must be unique, associative MULTI. Defaults to 0. Only makes sense if type is MULTI and unique is true.

ordered

Boolean flag. States that the returned attribute must be an ordered list. Defaults to 0. Only makes sense if type is MULTI.

type

If type is BOOLEAN a PerlBean::Attribute::Boolean, on SINGLE a PerlBean::Attribute::Single and on MULTI a PerlBean::Attribute::Multi is returned. Defaults to 'SINGLE'. NOTE: type has precedence over ordered and unique.

unique

Boolean flag. States that the items in the MULTI attribute must be unique. Defaults to 0. Only makes sense if type is MULTI.
