+=head1 NAME
+
+Class::MakeMethods::Template::Scalar - Methods for blessed scalars
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  package MyObject;
+  use Class::MakeMethods::Template::ExternalData (
+    new             => 'new',
+    scalar          => 'foo',
+  );
+  
+  package main;
+
+  my $obj = MyObject->new( foo => "Foozle" );
+  print $obj->foo();		# Prints Foozle
+  $obj->foo("Bamboozle"); 	# Sets $$obj
+  print $obj->foo();		# Prints Bamboozle
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Supports the Generic object constructor and accessors meta-method
+types, but uses scalar refs as the underlying implementation type,
+so only one accessor method can be used effectively.

+=head2 Standard Methods
+
+The following methods from Generic are all supported:
+
+  new 
+  scalar
+  string
+  string_index 
+  number 
+  boolean
+  bits 
+  array
+  hash
+  tiedhash
+  hash_of_arrays
+  object
+  instance
+  array_of_objects
+  code
+  code_or_scalar
+
+See L<Class::MakeMethods::Template::Generic> for the interfaces and behaviors of these method types.
+
+However, note that due to special nature of this package, all accessor methods reference the same scalar value, so setting a value with one method will overwrite the value retrieved by another.
