The following types of methods are provided via the Class::MakeMethods interface:

clone

Produce a deep copy of an instance of almost any underlying datatype.

Parameters:

init_method

If defined, this method is called on the new object with any arguments passed in.

prototype

Create new instances by making a deep copy of a static prototypical instance.

Parameters:

init_method

If defined, this method is called on the new object with any arguments passed in.

compare

Compare one object to another.

Templates

• default Three-way (sorting-style) comparison.

• equals Are these two objects equivalent?

• identity Are these two references to the exact same object?

See Class::MakeMethods for general information about this distribution.

See Class::MakeMethods::Template for more about this family of subclasses.

See Class::MakeMethods::Utility::Ref for the clone and compare functions used above.
