Class Attribute:

'$name' is an object of class $attr_class and constructed with: $class_args POD }

exists( $attr_ref->{type} ) and $pod .= <<POD ;

The type of '$name' is:

$attr_ref->{type} POD

	if( ref($default) eq "ARRAY" ) {

Default value:

$default POD }

exists( $attr_ref->{required} ) and $pod .= <<POD ;

It is required. POD

foreach my $attr ( sort keys %{ $attr_ref } ) {
	next if $is_attr_part{ $attr } ;
	$pod .= "Unknown attribute $attr\n" ;
}

$pod .= <<POD ;

POD }

Constructor - new

The new method creates an object of the class $package.

POD

return <<POD if $name eq 'msg_in' ;
=head3 Message Handler - B<msg_in>

The msg_in method is effectively a default method for message delivery. If any message to this cell can't be delivered to another method, then it will be delivered to the msg_in method. If a command message is delivered and a value is returned by msg_in, a response message is sent back to the originating cell with that value. POD

return <<POD if $name =~ /(\w+)_in$/ ;
=head3 Message Handler - $name

$1 type messages are delivered to this method. Its return value is ignored by the message delivery system. POD

return <<POD if $name =~ /(\w+)_cmd$/ ;
=head3 Command Message Handler - $name

$1 command messages are delivered to this method. If any value is returned, the message delivery system will create a response type message and dispatch it back to the sending cell. POD

return <<POD ;
=head3 Method - $name
POD

}

sub update_trailing_pod {

my( $tail_text ) = @_ ;

# return $tail_text if $tail_text =~ /=cut/ ;

#print "1 [$tail_text]\n" ;

return <<POD ;
