NAME
    Class::MOP::Method::Accessor - Method Meta Object for accessors

VERSION
    version 2.2200

SYNOPSIS
        use Class::MOP::Method::Accessor;

        my $reader = Class::MOP::Method::Accessor->new(
            attribute     => $attribute,
            is_inline     => 1,
            accessor_type => 'reader',
        );

        $reader->body->execute($instance); # call the reader method

DESCRIPTION
    This is a subclass of "Class::MOP::Method" which is used by "Class::MOP::Attribute" to generate
    accessor code. It handles generation of readers, writers, predicates and clearers. For each type
    of method, it can either create a subroutine reference, or actually inline code by generating a
    string and "eval"'ing it.

METHODS
    Class::MOP::Method::Accessor->new(%options)
        This returns a new "Class::MOP::Method::Accessor" based on the %options provided.

        *   attribute

            This is the "Class::MOP::Attribute" for which accessors are being generated. This option
            is required.

        *   accessor_type

            This is a string which should be one of "reader", "writer", "accessor", "predicate", or
            "clearer". This is the type of method being generated. This option is required.

        *   is_inline

            This indicates whether or not the accessor should be inlined. This defaults to false.

        *   name

            The method name (without a package name). This is required.

        *   package_name

            The package name for the method. This is required.

    $metamethod->accessor_type
        Returns the accessor type which was passed to "new".

    $metamethod->is_inline
        Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the accessor is inlined.

    $metamethod->associated_attribute
        This returns the Class::MOP::Attribute object which was passed to "new".

    $metamethod->body
        The method itself is *generated* when the accessor object is constructed.
