Pod::W...UTOLOAD(3pm)

💖 Pod::W...UTOLOAD 💖

okay bestie so this is the Pod::W...UTOLOAD page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and no, that truncated name isn't a glitch, that's just how the man page header renders it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Pod::WSDL::AUTOLOAD — the base class for autoloading, and it is internal use only bestie, like don't come for it, it's not for you 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the whole vibe, look:

package Foo;
our @ISA = qw/Pod::WSDL::AUTOLOAD/;

sub new {
  my $pgk = shift;
  bless {
        _bar => 'blah',
  }, $pgk
}

package main;
use Foo;

my $foo = new Foo();
print $foo->bar;  # prints 'blah'

$foo->bar('bloerch');  # sets _bar to 'bloerch'

like… you inherit it, you bless a hash, and the accessors just manifest themselves ✨ iconic behavior honestly

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this module is used internally by Pod::WSDL. it is unlikely that you have to interact directly with it, fr fr. the Pod::WSDL::AUTOLOADER is used as a base class and handels autoloading of accessor methods.

here's the tea ☕ — if there is a property called _foo in a hash based blessed reference, it will allow the use of the method 'foo' as a getter and setter.

• as a getter, it returns the value of _foo
• as a setter, it sets _foo with the argument and returns the object

you can exclude the accessor by using a hash %FORBIDDEN_METHODS in the derived class, like that:

our %FORBIDDEN_METHODS = (
      foo => {get => 1, set => 0},
      bar => {get => 0, set => 0}
);

in this example it will not be allowed to set _foo and to set or get _bar. if the user of the object tries to do so, it croaks 😭💀 no cap, it will simply perish.

but wait — from within the objects package, every accessor is allowed 👑 so the object is only strict with outsiders, classic main character energy

okay and that's the page bestie, generated by perl v5.34.0 on 2022-06-16 — the man page header literally abbreviates the title to Pod::W...UTOLOAD(3pm) and honestly? she ate that. slay, stay autoloaded, mwah 💖✨
