NAME

       Class::MakeMethods::Template::StructBuiltin - generates a wrapper around some builtin function

SYNOPSIS

	 use Class::MakeMethods::Template::StructBuiltin (
	   -TargetClass => 'MyStat',
	   builtin_isa => [
	     '-{new_function}'=>'stat',
	       qw/ dev ino mode nlink /
	   ]
	 );

DESCRIPTION

       This class generates a wrapper around some builtin function, storing the results in the object and providing a by-name interface.

       Takes a (core) function name, and a arrayref of return position names (we will call it pos_list).  Creates:

       new Calls the core func with any given arguments, stores the result in the instance.

       x   For each member of pos_list, creates a method of the same name which gets/sets the nth member of the returned list, where n is the
	   position of x in pos_list.

       fields
	   Returns pos_list, in the given order.

       dump
	   Returns a list item name, item value, in order.

       Example Usage:

	 package Stat;

	 use Class::MakeMethods::Template::StructBuiltin
	   builtin_isa => [ '-{new_function}'=>'stat', qw/ dev ino mode nlink / ],

	 package main;

	 my $file = "$ENV{HOME}/.template";
	 my $s = Stat->new($file);
	 print "File $file has ", $s->nlink, " links
";

       Note that (a) the new method does not check the return value of the function called (in the above example, if $file does not exist, you
       will silently get an empty object), and (b) if you really want the above example, see the core File::stat module.   But you get the idea, I
       hope.

NAME

       Class::MakeMethods::Template::Global - Method that are not instance-dependent

SYNOPSIS

	 package MyObject;
	 use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Global (
	   scalar	   => [ 'foo' ]
	 );

	 package main;

	 MyObject->foo('bar')
	 print MyObject->foo();
	 ...
	 print $my_instance->foo(); # same thing

DESCRIPTION

       These meta-methods access values that are shared across all instances of your object in your process. For example, a hash_scalar meta-
       method will be able to store a different value for each hash instance you call it on, but a static_scalar meta-method will return the same
       value for any instance it's called on, and setting it from any instance will change the value that all other instances see.

       Common Parameters: The following parameters are defined for Static meta-methods.

       data
	   The shared value.

   Standard Methods
       The following methods from Generic should be supported:

	 scalar
	 string
	 number
	 boolean
	 bits (?)
	 array
	 hash
	 tiedhash (?)
	 hash_of_arrays (?)
	 object
	 instance
	 array_of_objects (?)
	 code
	 code_or_scalar (?)

       See Class::MakeMethods::Template::Generic for the interfaces and behaviors of these method types.

       The items marked with a ? above have not been tested sufficiently; please inform the author if they do not function as you would expect.
