NAME

Net::SolarWinds::ConstructorHash - Default Hash object constructor

SYNOPSIS

package MyClass;

use base qw(Net::SolarWinds::ConstructorHash);

1;

my $pkg=new MyClass(key=>'value');

DESCRIPTION

This library provides a common base line construcotor that accepts an arbitrary key=>value pair set.

Setting default constructor values.

To create default constructor values, simply use the inherited OO constructor example:

sub new {
	my ($class,%args)=@_;
	
	return $class->SUPER::new(
	  some_argument=>'default_value',
	  %args
	);
}

OO Methods provided

• Object constructor

  This class provides a basic object constructor that accepts hash key value pairs as its arguments. Keep in mind there are a few reserved hash keys.

  Reserved hash keys:

  _shutdown=>0|1
    # wich is used to manage the shutdown state.
  
  log=>undef|Net::SolarWinds::Log instance
    # this key represents the log object ( if passed into the constructor as class->new(log=>Net::SolarWinds::Log->new()) )

• $self->is_shutdown

  This method should be used when running infinate loops to see if the application should stop running its extended loop.

• $self->set_shutdown

  Sets the object into the shutdown state.
