πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Class::MOP::Object β€” the base class for metaclasses, aka the blueprint-of-blueprints bestie πŸ¦‹

This one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, section 3, iykyk.

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.4000 β€” yeah she's on 2.4000, periodt πŸ’…

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so listen. This class is a very minimal base class for metaclasses. Like, minimal minimal. She's not doing the most, she's just the vibe foundation everything else stands on. Lowkey iconic for that. πŸ‘‘

πŸŽ€ METHODS πŸŽ€

This class hands you a few methods that are useful in all metaclasses. Universal queen behaviour fr fr. πŸ’–

Class::MOP::???->meta

This returns a Class::MOP::Class object. That's it, that's the whole thing. Short and slay. ✨

$metaobject->dump($max_depth)

This method uses Data::Dumper to dump the object. Like, it spills the whole thing out for you to read. 🫢

You can pass an optional maximum depth, which will set $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth. And if you don't pass one? The default maximum depth is 1. No cap. 🌸

$metaclass->throw_error($message)

This method calls "_throw_exception" in Class::MOP::Mixin internally, with an object of class Moose::Exception::Legacy. So yeah, it's throwing hands, but politely, through the proper channels. πŸ’€
