MooseX::MutatorAttributes - Moose Role to add a quick set method that returns self

Version 0.12

I got tired of doing this:

    $obj->attr1($value1);
    $obj->attr2($value2);
    $obj->method_that_uses_attr;

What I wanted to do was:

    with qw{MooseX::MutatorAttributes};
    $obj->set( attr1 => $value1, attr2 => $value2 )->method_that_uses_attr;

Now I can, and so can you.

    $self->set( HASH );

Set takes a hash, keys are expected to be attributes, if they are not then we Carp::croak. If a key is an acceptable attribute then we attempt to set with $value.

    my $storage_href = {};
    $self->set_only_rw_attr($storage_href, HASH );

Set takes a hash, keys are expected to be attributes, but unlike set, we don't die. Instead we populate a given storage ref that was passed in. It's up to what to do with it. Post 'set' your $storage_href will hold all the non-writeable-attrs (either was not an attr or was 'ro').

If you wish to by-pass the storage part pass in an annon hashref {}.
