NAME

Class::Accessor::Assert - Accessors which type-check

SYNOPSIS

      use Class::Accessor::Assert;
      __PACKAGE__->mk_accessors( qw( +foo bar=Some::Class baz ) );

DESCRIPTION

This is a version of Class::Accessor which offers rudimentary type-checking and existence-checking of arguments to constructors and set accessors.

To specify that a member is mandatory in the constructor, prefix its name with a "+". To specify that it needs to be of a certain class when setting that member, suffix "=CLASSNAME". Unblessed reference types such as "=HASH" or "=ARRAY" are acceptable.
