NAME

ArrayBasedStorage - An example of an Array based instance storage

SYNOPSIS

  package Foo;
  
  use metaclass (
    ':instance_metaclass'  => 'ArrayBasedStorage::Instance'
  );
  
  __PACKAGE__->meta->add_attribute('foo' => (
      reader => 'get_foo',
      writer => 'set_foo'
  ));    
  
  sub new  {
      my $class = shift;
      $class->meta->new_object(@_);
  } 
  
  # now you can just use the class as normal

DESCRIPTION

This is a proof of concept using the Instance sub-protocol which uses ARRAY refs to store the instance data.

This is very similar now to the InsideOutClass example, and in fact, they both share the exact same test suite, with the only difference being the Instance metaclass they use.
