NAME

Rose::Object - A simple object base class.

SYNOPSIS

package MyObject;

use Rose::Object;
our @ISA = qw(Rose::Object);

sub foo { ... }
sub bar { ... }
...

my $o = MyObject->new(foo => 'abc', bar => 5);
...

DESCRIPTION

Rose::Object is a generic object base class. It provides very little functionality, but a healthy dose of convention.

METHODS

new PARAMS

Constructs a new, empty, hash-based object based on PARAMS, where PARAMS are name/value pairs, and then calls init (see below), passing PARAMS to it unmodified.

init PARAMS

Given a list of name/value pairs in PARAMS, calls the object method of each name, passing the corresponding value as an argument. The methods are called in the order that they appear in PARAMS. For example:

$o->init(foo => 1, bar => 2);

is equivalent to the sequence:

$o->foo(1);
$o->bar(2);
