NAME

YATT::Lite::MFields -- fields for multiple inheritance.

SYNOPSIS

  #
  # Like fields.pm
  #
  use YATT::Lite::MFields qw/foo bar baz/;

  #
  # Getter generation.
  #
  use YATT::Lite::MFields qw/^name cf_^age/;
  #
  # In above, ->name and ->value is defined.

  # Or more descriptive (but most attributes are only for documentation)
  use YATT::Lite::MFields
    ([name => (is => 'ro', doc => "Name of the user"
              , getter => "get_name")]
    , [age => (is => 'rw', doc => "Age of the user")]
    );

  # Or, more procedural way.
  use YATT::Lite::MFields sub {
    my ($meta) = @_;
    $meta->has(name => is => 'ro', doc => "Name of the user");
    $meta->has(age => is => 'rw', doc => "Age of the user");
  };

DESCRIPTION

This module manipulates caller's %FIELDS hash at compile time so that caller can detect field-name error at compile time. Traditionally this is done by fields module. But it explicitly prohibits multiple inheritance.

Yes, avoiding care-less use of multiple inheritance is important. But if used correctly, multi-inheritance is good tool to make your program being modular.
