Classgen-3.00 (4/2000)
classgen is a script that allows you to create a Perl-object from
a simple control-file. In the control file you basically specify
the internal instance-variables this object should have. classgen
then generates ASCII-source code (package) for you, which contains:
* a new() - method with the variables blessed to an {}
* accessor- and manipulator-methods for all these variables
* a specific() - method; it serves as a skelton for you to
edit further object-specific methods as you need them
* a perldoc-skelton at the end
This way you can fully focus on what your object should be doing. No
need to bother around with instance-variables.
To install classgen 'gunzip' and 'tar xvf' the .gz file in a directory
of your choice. Next run from this directory:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install (as root)
There are a few examples in examples/ which include how to extend the
generated object for inheritance from base-classes.
