NAME
   Object::Adhoc - make objects without the hassle of defining a class first

SYNOPSIS
    use Object::Adhoc;

    my $object = object { name => 'Alice' };

    if ($object->has_name) {
      print $object->name, "\n";
    }

DESCRIPTION
   Object::Adhoc is designed to be an alternative to returning hashrefs from
   functions and methods. It's similar to Object::Anon but doesn't do
   anything special with references or overloading.

 Functions
   `object(\%data, \@keys)`
       Returns a blessed object built from the given arrayref.

       For each key in the list of keys, a getter (`name` in the SYNOPSIS)
       and predicate (`has_name` in the SYNOPSIS) method are created.

       Objects are read-only.

       Note that Object::Adhoc does not make a clone of %data before blessing
       it; it is blessed directly.

   `object(\%data)`
       If @keys is not supplied, Object::Adhoc will do this:

         @keys = keys(%data);

       If there are some keys that will not always be present in your data,
       passing Object::Adhoc a full list of every possible key is strongly
       recommended!

   `make_class(\@keys)`
       Just makes the class, but doesn't bless a hashref into it. Returns a
       string which is the name of the class. If called repeatedly with the
       same keys, will return the same class name.

       The class won't have a `new` method; if you need to create objects,
       just directly bless hashrefs into it.

       It is possible to use this in an @ISA, though that's not really the
       intention of Object::Adhoc.

         package My::Class {
           use Object::Adhoc qw(make_class);
           our @ISA = make_class[qw/ foo bar baz /];
           sub new {
             my ($class, $data) = (shift, @_);
             bless $data, $class;
           }
           sub foobar {
             my ($self) = (shift);
             $self->foo . $self->bar;
           }
         }

       `make_class` is not exported by default.

 Diagnostics
  Ambiguous method '%s' is getter, not predicate
   Given the following:

     my $object = object {
       name     => 'Alice',
       has_name => 1,
     };

   Object::Adhoc doesn't know if you want the `has_name` method to be a
   getter for the "has_name" attribute, or a predicate for the "name"
   attribute. The getter wins, but it will issue a warning.

  Key '%s' would be bad method name, not generating methods
   You've got a key with a name that cannot be called as a method. For
   example:

     my $alice = object { 'given name' => 'Alice' };

   Perl methods cannot contain spaces, so Object::Adhoc refuses to create the
   method and gives you a warning. (Technically it is possible to create and
   call methods containing spaces, but it's fiddly.)

   This also happens for a few reserved method names like `AUTOLOAD`,
   `DESTROY`, `isa`, `DOES`, `can`, etc. These have particular meanings in
   Perl that would conflict with them being used as a getter method.

  Usage %s(self)
   The methods defined by Object::Adhoc expect to be invoked with a blessed
   object and no other parameters.

     my $alice = object { 'name' => 'Alice' };
     $alice->name(1234);   # error

   This throws an exception rather than just printing a warning.

SEE ALSO
 Comparison with Similar Modules
   Object::Adhoc - requires Exporter::Tiny and uses Class::XSAccessor if
   installed; read-only accessors; predicate methods; no recursion; no
   overloading; dies on unknown keys.

   Object::Anon only core dependencies; read-only accessors; no predicate
   methods; recuses into nested hashrefs and arrayrefs; treats coderef values
   as methods and supports overloading; dies on unknown keys.

   Hash::Objectify - requires Class::XSAccessor; read-write accessors; no
   predicate methods; no recursion; no overloading; dies on unknown keys (or
   returns undef in lax mode).

   Hash::AsObject - only core dependencies; read-write accessors (uses
   AUTOLOAD, potentially slow); no predicate methods; recurses into nested
   hashrefs; no overloading; returns undef for unknown keys.

   Of the four, Object::Adhoc has the fastest accessors, and Hash::Objectify
   has the fastest constructors. Object::Anon is the slowest.

   I'd recommend Object::Adhoc if you want read-only accessors, or
   Hash::Objectify if you want read-write accessors. Use Object::Anon only if
   you need the additional features it supports for overloading, custom
   methods, and recursive application to nested data structures.

 Not Quite So Similar Modules
   Object::Result - fairly different idea, but can be used for similar
   purposes. Requires Perl 5.14, Keyword::Simple, PPI, and
   Method::Signatures.
