=head1 NAME

UR::Object::Type::ModuleWriter - Helper module for UR::Object::Type responsible for writing Perl modules

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Subroutines within this module actually live in the UR::Object::Type
namespace;  this module is just a convienent place to collect them.  The
Module Writer is used by the class updater system (L<(UR::Namespace::Command::Update::Classes>
and 'ur update classes) to add, remove and alter the Perl modules behind
the classes within a Namespace.  

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item resolve_module_header_source

  $classobj->resolve_module_header_source();

Returns a string that represents a fully-formed class definition the the
given class metaobject $classobj.

=item resolve_class_description_perl

  $classobj->resolve_class_description_perl()

Used by resolve_module_header_source().  This method inspects all the
applicable properties of the class metaobject and builds up a string that
gets inserted between the {...} of the class definition string.

=item rewrite_module_header

  $classobj->rewrite_module_header();

This method rewrites an existing Perl module file in place for the class
metaobject, or creates a new file if one does not already exist.

=item module_base_name

Returns the pathname of the class's module relative to the top level directory
of that class's Namespace.

=item module_path

Returns the fully qualified pathname of the class's module.

=item module_source_lines

Returns the text of the class's Perl module as a list of strings.

=item module_source

Returns the text of the class's Perl module as a single string.

=item module_header_positions

Returns a 3-element list ($begin, $end, $use) where $begin is the line number
where the class header begins.  $end is the line number where it ends.  $use
is the line number where the module declares that it use's a Namespace.

=item module_header_source_lines

Returns the text of the class's Perl module source where the class definition
is as a list of strings.

=item module_header_source

Returns the text of the class's Perl module source where the class definition
is as a single string.
