-previous releases.
-
-
-=head1 MOTIVATION

-By passing arguments to "use Class::MakeMethods ..." statements, you can
-select from a library of hundreds of common types of methods, which are
-dynamically installed as subroutines in your module, simplifying the code
-for your class.
-
-

- ::MakeMethods RdpOp Generate common types of methods
-
-=head2 Prerequisites
-
-In general, this module should work with Perl 5.003 or later,
-without requring any modules beyond the core Perl distribution.
-
-The following optional feature may not be available on some platforms:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-Class::MakeMethods::Attribute: The C<:MakeMethod> subroutine
-attribute requires Perl version 5.6 and the Attribute::Handlers
-module (from CPAN).
-
-=item *
-
-Class::MakeMethods::Template C<--lvalue>: The lvalue modifier
-provided by the Template generator subclasses will only work on
-Perl version 5.6 or later.
-
-=item *
-
-Some third-party tests used to check the compliance of Emulator modules
-require Test::More and will be automatically skipped on machines which do
-not have this installed.

-
-=head2 Installation
-
-You should be able to install this module using the CPAN shell interface:
-
- perl -MCPAN -e 'install Class::MakeMethods'

-
-After downloading the distribution, follow the normal procedure to unpack and install it, using the commands shown below or their local equivalents on your system:
-
- tar xzf Class-MakeMethods-*.tar.gz
- cd Class-MakeMethods-*
- perl Makefile.PL
- make test && sudo make install
-
-Thanks to the kind generosity of other members of the Perl community,
-this distribution is also available repackaged in the FreeBSD
-"ports" and Linux RPM formats. This may simplify installation for
-some users, but be aware that these alternate distributions may
-lag a few versions behind the latest release on CPAN.

-=head2 Tested Platforms
-
-This release has been tested succesfully on the following platforms:
-
- 5.6.1 on darwin
-
-Earlier releases have also tested OK on the following platforms:
-
- IP30-R12000-irix
- OpenBSD.i386-openbsd
- i386-freebsd / i386-freebsd-thread-multi
- i386-linux
- i386-netbsd / i386-netbsd-thread-multi
- i586-linux / i586-linux-thread-multi-ld
- i686-linux / i686-pld-linux-thread-multi
- ia64-linux
- ppc-linux
- sparc-linux
- sparc-netbsd
- sun4-solaris
-
-Some earlier versions failed to "make test" on MSWin32, although
-a forced installation would still work; that problem should be
-fixed in the most recent releases.
-
-You may also review the current test results from CPAN-Testers:

-=head1 SUPPORT
-
-=head2 Release Status
-
-This module has been used in a variety of production systems and
-has been available on CPAN for over two years, with several other
-distributions dependant on it, so it would be fair to say that it
-is fully released.
-
-However, while the commonly-used portions are well tested, some of
-the more obscure combinations of options are less so, and new bug
-reports do trickle in occasionally. If you do encounter any problems,
-please inform the author and I'll endeavor to patch them promptly.
-
-Additional features have been outlined for future development, but
-the intent is support these by adding more options to the declaration
-interface, while maintaining backward compatibility.
-
-See L<Class::MakeMethods::Docs::ToDo> for other outstanding issues
-and development plans.
-
-=head2 Support
-
-If you have questions or feedback about this module, please feel
-free to contact the author at the below address. Although there is
-no formal support program, I do attempt to answer email promptly.
-
-I would be particularly interested in any suggestions towards
-improving the documentation and correcting any Perl-version or platform
-dependencies, as well as general feedback and suggested additions.
-
-Bug reports that contain a failing test case are greatly appreciated,
-and suggested patches will be promptly considered for inclusion in
-future releases.
-
-To report bugs via the CPAN web tracking system, go to
-C<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Class-MakeMethods> or send mail
-to C<Dist=Class-MakeMethods#rt.cpan.org>, replacing C<#> with C<@>.

-experience with it, consider sharing your opinion with other Perl
