NAME Pod::WSDL::AUTOLOAD - Base class for autoloading INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install SYNOPSIS package Foo; our @ISA = qw/Pod::WSDL::AUTOLOAD/; sub new { my $pgk = shift; bless { _bar => 'blah', }, $pgk } package main; use Foo; my $foo = new Foo(); print $foo->bar; # prints 'blah' $foo->bar('bloerch'); # sets _bar to 'bloerch' DESCRIPTION This module is used internally by Pod::WSDL. It is unlikely that you have to interact directly with it. The Pod::WSDL::AUTOLOADER is used as a base class and handels autoloading of accessor methods. If there is a property called _foo in a hash based blessed reference, it will allow the use of the method 'foo' as a getter and setter. As a getter is returns the value of _foo, as a setter it sets _foo with the argument and returns the object. You can exclude the accessor by using a hash %FORBIDDEN_METHODS in the derived class like that: our %FORBIDDEN_METHODS = ( foo => {get => 1, set => 0}, bar => {get => 0, set => 0} ); In this example it will not be allowed to set _foo and to set or get _bar. If the user of the object tries to do so, it croaks. From within the objects package every accessor is allowed.
