SYNOPSIS

package MyObject;
use Class::MakeMethods::Template::Global (
scalar => [ 'foo' ]
);

package main;
MyObject->foo('bar')
print MyObject->foo();
...
print $my_instance->foo(); # same thing

DESCRIPTION

These meta-methods access values that are shared across all instances of your object in your process. For example, a hash_scalar meta-method will be able to store a different value for each hash instance you call it on, but a static_scalar meta-method will return the same value for any instance it's called on, and setting it from any instance will change the value that all other instances see.

Common Parameters: The following parameters are defined for Static meta-methods.

data

The shared value.
