VERSION

This document describes Mouse version v2.4.5

METHODS

$class->new(%args | \%args) -> Object

Instantiates a new "Mouse::Object". This is obviously intended for subclasses.

$class->BUILDARGS(@args) -> HashRef

Lets you override the arguments that "new" takes. It must return a HashRef of parameters.

$object->BUILDALL(\%args)

Calls "BUILD" on each class in the class hierarchy. This is called at the end of "new".

$object->BUILD(\%args)

You may put any business logic initialization in BUILD methods. You don't need to redispatch or return any specific value.

$object->DEMOLISHALL

Calls "DEMOLISH" on each class in the class hierarchy. This is called at "DESTROY" time.

$object->DEMOLISH

You may put any business logic deinitialization in DEMOLISH methods. You don't need to redispatch or return any specific value.

$object->does($role_name) -> Bool

This will check if the invocant's class does a given $role_name. This is similar to "isa" for object, but it checks the roles instead.

$object->dump($maxdepth) -> Str

This is a handy utility for dumping an object with Data::Dumper. By default, the maximum depth is 3, to avoid making a mess.

$object->meta() -> MetaClass

This is a method which provides access to the object's metaclass.
