_do (required)

Implement this method to 'do' unto the iterator. Return true for success, false for failure.

sub _do {
   my ($self, $iterator) = @_;

   while (my $obj = $iterator->next) {
       ...
   }

   return 1;
}

subject_class_name (optional)

The subject_class_name is the class for which the objects will be fetched. It can be specified one of two main ways:

by_the_end_user_on_the_command_line

For this do nothing, the end user will have to provide it when the command is run.

by_the_developer_in the_class_declartion

For this, in the class declaration, add a has key w/ arrayref of hashrefs. One of the hashrefs needs to be subject_class_name. Give it this declaration:

class MyFetchAndDo {
    is => 'UR::Object::Command::FetchAndDo',
    has => [
        subject_class_name => {
            value => <CLASS NAME>,
            is_constant => 1,
        },
    ],
};
