Class::MOP::Mixin(3)

💖 Class::MOP::Mixin 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for Class::MOP::Mixin — you're reading the perl docs here, and this one's short but she's important, trust 💅

Version: version 2.4000 ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically? This class hands you a lil handful of methods that are useful in all metaclasses. Like, every metaclass out here is getting fed by this vibe. She's the base-class bestie, the foundation fit, the whole reason things work. iconic behavior honestly 🦋

🎀 METHODS 🎀

Class::MOP::Mixin->meta

This one hands you back a Class::MOP::Class object for the mixin class. That's it, that's the whole thing. She said "here's your class object, go off" 👑

Class::MOP::Mixin->_throw_exception

Throws an exception in the Moose::Exception family. Note the underscore, bestie — that's the "do not touch" little sign 🚫

⚠️ This should ONLY be used internally. Any callers outside Class::MOP::* should be using the version in Moose::Util instead. Like, fr fr, if you're calling this from outside, you're in the wrong place and the vibes are off 😭
