NAME
    Class::Accessor::Fast - Faster, but less expandable, accessors

SYNOPSIS
      package Foo;
      use base qw(Class::Accessor::Fast);

      # The rest is the same as Class::Accessor but without set() and get().

DESCRIPTION
    This is a faster but less expandable version of Class::Accessor. Class::Accessor's generated
    accessors require two method calls to accomplish their task (one for the accessor, another for
    get() or set()). Class::Accessor::Fast eliminates calling set()/get() and does the access
    itself, resulting in a somewhat faster accessor.

    The downside is that you can't easily alter the behavior of your accessors, nor can your
    subclasses. Of course, should you need this later, you can always swap out Class::Accessor::Fast
    for Class::Accessor.

    Read the documentation for Class::Accessor for more info.

EFFICIENCY
    "EFFICIENCY" in Class::Accessor for an efficiency comparison.
