# Class::MOP::Object - phpMan

## NAME
    [Class::MOP::Object] - Base class for metaclasses

## VERSION
    version 2.2200

## DESCRIPTION
    This class is a very minimal base class for metaclasses.

## METHODS
    This class provides a few methods which are useful in all metaclasses.

  [Class::MOP]::???->meta
    This returns a [Class::MOP::Class] object.

  $metaobject->dump($max_depth)
    This method uses [Data::Dumper] to dump the object. You can pass an
    optional maximum depth, which will set $[Data::Dumper::Maxdepth]. The
    default maximum depth is 1.

  $metaclass->throw_error($message)
    This method calls "_throw_exception" in [Class::MOP::Mixin] internally,
    with an object of class [Moose::Exception::Legacy].
