The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Class::Meta DSLIP: cdpOp description: A class for meta objects userid: IVORW (Ivor Williams) chapterid: 6 (Data_Type_Utilities) communities: http://london.pm.org/tech_talks/21_nov_2002/ivor/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://perlmonks.org
similar: Class::Classless rationale: Please see the tech talk slides for background information. The module does something similar to Class::Classless, which allows objects to inherit from other objects. No other module apart from Class::Classless or Class::Meta redefines inheritance so as not to pollute package namespace. Class::Classless only contains an inheritance hierarchy of objects. The different approach with Class::Meta is that objects in Class::Meta represent both objects and classes. Everything in Class::Meta is an object (of class Class::Meta in a Perl sense), but can represent a class, or an object or both. enteredby: IVORW (Ivor Williams) enteredon: Tue Jan 7 23:33:51 2003 GMT The resulting entry would be: Class:: ::Meta cdpOp A class for meta objects IVORW Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=26100000_9df1c483f3be1808&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=26100000_9df1c483f3be1808&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
