package MyClass::Bar;
use base qw( Class:Accessor );
__PACKAGE__->mk_ro_accessors(qw( emily emma madison isabella ));
package MyClass::Baz;
use base qw( Class:Accessor );
__PACKAGE__->mk_ro_accessors(qw( haruka haruto miyu yuto ));

AFTER (WITH THIS)

    package MyClass;
    use base qw( Class::Accessor::Children );
    __PACKAGE__->mk_child_ro_accessors(
        Foo => [qw( jacob michael joshua ethan )],

DESCRIPTION

This module automagically generates child classes which have accessor/mutator methods.

This module inherits "Class::Accessor" to make accessors.

METHODS

This module provides the following methods in addition to all methods provided by "Class::Accessor".

mk_child_accessors

    MyClass->mk_child_accessors( Foo => \@fields, ... );

This generates a child class named "MyClass::Foo" which have accessor/mutator methods each named in "\@fields".

mk_child_ro_accessors

    MyClass->mk_child_ro_accessors( Bar => \@fields, ... );

This generates a child class named "MyClass::Bar" which have read-only accessors (ie. true accessors).

mk_child_wo_accessors

    MyClass->mk_child_wo_accessors( Baz => \@fields, ... );

This generates a child class named "MyClass::Baz" which have write-only accessor (ie. mutators).
