I am soliciting feedback on a major revision of the Class::MethodMaker module prior to releasing it to CPAN. Version 2 provides a wide range of additional features while retaining nearly complete compatibility with version 1.

Class::MethodMaker allows module developers to quickly define object constructor and accessor methods by reusing templates for these common types of functions. I find it useful in almost all of the object-oriented modules I create.

It combines several "nifty" Perl features, including a macro templating system for Perl code which is then string eval'ed to create a subroutine that generates closures which are installed into the symbol table at runtime -- I've definitely enjoyed working on it.

The new distribution (65KB tarball) may be retrieved from our web site.

Feedback would be appreciated, here on PerlMonks, or by email to the email address in the README. I'll try to address any issues raised before uploading the results to CPAN. Thanks!

Update: This module is now named Class::MakeMethods
