🔧 METHODS

🏗️ Class Methods

• new — Create a new object. Any arguments passed to new will be passed on to the _initialize method. Returns a new object.

🔹 Instance Methods

• _initialize — Initializes a new object. This method is a stub by default, you should override it as appropriate. Note: new expects you to return $self or raise an exception. See _croak, and Carp.
• _croak — Raise an exception using croak from Carp, eg:

  $self->_croak( 'why me?', 'aaarrgh!' );

  May also be called as a class method:

  $class->_croak( 'this works too' );

• _confess — Raise an exception using confess from Carp, eg:

  $self->_confess( 'why me?', 'aaarrgh!' );

  May also be called as a class method:

  $class->_confess( 'this works too' );

• _construct — Create a new instance of the specified class.
• mk_methods — Create simple getter/setters.

  __PACKAGE__->mk_methods(@method_names);
