Mailmunge::Base(3)

💖 Mailmunge::Base — the base class for Mailmunge objects 💖

okay so this is Mailmunge::Base(3), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew — yes bestie, we're in the perl section of the man pages, get comfy 🫶

---

✨ ABSTRACT ✨

Mailmunge::Base is literally just handing you one (1) convenience function that builds accessors for you — those lil get-and-set methods for instance variables. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole thing in action, no cap:

package MyThing;
use base qw(Mailmunge::Base);

my @accessors = qw(height weight age);

__PACKAGE__->make_accessors(@accessors);

# Defines getters/setters MyThing::height, MyThing::weight and
# MyThing::age
my $thing = MyThing->new();
$thing->age(20);
my $x = $thing->height;

so you inherit from Mailmunge::Base, you hand make_accessors a list of names, and boom — MyThing::height, MyThing::weight and MyThing::age all exist now. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

👑 CLASS METHODS 👑

🦋 make_accessors(@accessors)

you pass it an array of accessor names and it creates a getter and a setter for each one. every method gets named after the matching element of @accessors — like, one-to-one, no funny business ✨

and here's the rule that makes it all work, bestie:

• call it with no parameters → it's a getter 👀
• call it with one parameter → it's a settor ✍️

that's the entire personality. getter when empty, settor when you feed it something. periodt 💅

lowkey reminder: @accessors names become your method names, so pick them like you pick your usernames — carefully 🫶
