Class::Smart - (former Class::AutoArgs) |
20 |
|
21 |
|
22 |
=head1 Description |
23 |
|
24 |
Includes little constructor which introduces |
25 |
passed in argument list as object attributes. |
26 |
|
27 |
Note: Since this list is automagically coerced to a |
28 |
hash by perl itself, it is assumed to have |
29 |
an even number of elements. Perl will croak |
30 |
otherwise. |
31 |
|
32 |
|
33 |
=head1 Todo |
34 |
|
35 |
o Handle strategy/behavior for odd number of elements inside argument list. |
36 |
(This code is already established somewhere and gets used almost |
37 |
everywhere throughout CPAN in various ways: see Perl: There is more |
38 |
then one way to do it. - Please look at XML::XUpdate::XSLT::__read_arguments...) |
