NAME

Class::MOP::Method::Constructor - Method Meta Object for constructors

SYNOPSIS

  use Class::MOP::Method::Constructor;

  my $constructor = Class::MOP::Method::Constructor->new(
      metaclass => $metaclass,
      options   => {
          debug => 1, # this is all for now
      },
  );

  # calling the constructor ...
  $constructor->body->execute($metaclass->name, %params);

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of Class::MOP::Method which generates constructor methods.

METHODS

Class::MOP::Method::Constructor->new(%options)

This creates a new constructor object. It accepts a hash reference of options.

• metaclass

  This should be a Class::MOP::Class object. It is required.

• name

  The method name (without a package name). This is required.

• package_name

  The package name for the method. This is required.

• is_inline

  This indicates whether or not the constructor should be inlined. This defaults to false.

$metamethod->is_inline

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the constructor is inlined.

$metamethod->associated_metaclass

This returns the Class::MOP::Class object for the method.

$metamethod->is_inline

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the constructor is inlined.

$metamethod->can_be_inlined

This method always returns true in this class. It exists so that subclasses (as in Moose) can do some sort of checking to determine whether or not inlining the constructor is safe.
