=head1 NAME
metaclass - a pragma for installing and using Class::MOP metaclasses
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package MyClass;
# use Class::MOP::Class
use metaclass;
# ... or use a custom metaclass
use metaclass 'MyMetaClass';
# ... or use a custom metaclass
# and custom attribute and method
# metaclasses
use metaclass 'MyMetaClass' => (
'attribute_metaclass' => 'MyAttributeMetaClass',
'method_metaclass' => 'MyMethodMetaClass',
);
# ... or just specify custom attribute
# and method classes, and Class::MOP::Class
# is the assumed metaclass
use metaclass (
'attribute_metaclass' => 'MyAttributeMetaClass',
'method_metaclass' => 'MyMethodMetaClass',
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a pragma to make it easier to use a specific metaclass
and a set of custom attribute and method metaclasses. It also
installs a C<meta> method to your class as well.
