GetterSetter version 0.01
=========================

NAME

GetterSetter - Perl module that allows you to specify what attributes
have getters and setters

SYNOPSIS

	namespace TestGetterSetter;
	use GetterSetter;

	BEGIN {
		create_getter( 'attribute1', 'attribute2', 'attribute4' );
		create_setter( 'attribute1', 'attribute3' );
	}

	sub new {
		my $class = shift;
		my $instance = {};
		$instance->{'attribute1'} = 'cow';
		$instance->{'attriubte2'} = 'dog';
		$instance->{'attribute3'} = 'cat';
		$instance->{'attribute4'} = 'duck';

		bless( $instance, $class );
		return $instance;
	}

	##### Then later in calling code #######

	use TestGetterSetter;

	my $new_obj = TestGetterSetter->new();
	print $new_obj->get_attribute1(); # Should print 'cow'
	$new_obj->set_attribute1( 'snake' );
	print $new_obj->get_attribute1(); # Should now print 'snake'

	print $new_obj->get_attribute2(); # Should print 'dog'
	print $new_obj->get_attribute3(); # Runtime error!!!!
	print $new_obj->get_attribute4(); # Should print 'duck';

	$new_obj->set_attribute3( 'horse' ); # attribute3 is now = to 'horse'

DESCRIPTION

Will allow getter and setter methods to be easily defined by simply
calling a function in your BEGIN code. It will not overwrite real
functions already in the text of the code to prevent accidental
overwrites of more complex getter and setter methods.
