What follows is a brief explaination of the code found in this module. We must create a subclass of B and override the slot operations. This requires overloading C, C, C, and C, as well as their inline counterparts. Additionally we overload C in order to initialize the global hash containing the actual slot values. And that is pretty much all. Of course I am ignoring need for inside-out objects to be C-ed, and some other details as well (threading, etc), but this is an example. A real implementation is left as an exercise to the reader. =head1 AUTHORS Stevan Little Estevan@iinteractive.comE Yuval Kogman Enothingmuch@woobling.comE =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2006-2008 by Infinity Interactive, Inc.
