Release of version 1.06 of Class::Delegation

NAME

Class::Delegation - Object-oriented delegation

DESCRIPTION

The Class::Delegation module simplifies the creation of delegation-based class hierarchies, allowing a method to be redispatched:

• to a single nominated attribute,
• to a collection of nominated attributes in parallel, or
• to any attribute that can handle the message.

These three delegation mechanisms can be specified for:

• a single method
• a set of nominated methods collectively
• any as-yet-undelegated methods
• all methods, delegated or not.
