# Class::Accessor::Fast - phpMan

## 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.
