=head1 NAME
Class::Inner - A perlish implementation of Java like inner classes
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Class::Inner;
my $object = Class::Inner->new(
parent => 'ParentClass',
methods => { method => sub { ... } }, },
constructor => 'new',
args => [@constructor_args],
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Yet another implementation of an anonymous class with per object
overrideable methods, but with the added attraction of sort of working
dispatch to the parent class's method.
=head2 METHODS
=over 4
=item B<new HASH>
Takes a hash like argument list with the following keys.
=over 4
=item B<parent>
The name of the parent class. Note that you can only get single
inheritance with this or B<SUPER> won't work.
=item B<methods>
A hash, keys are method names, values are CODEREFs.
=item B<constructor>
The name of the constructor method. Defaults to 'new'.
=item B<args>
An anonymous array of arguments to pass to the constructor. Defaults
to an empty list.
=back
Returns an object in an 'anonymous' class which inherits from the
parent class. This anonymous class has a couple of 'extra' methods:
=over 4
=item B<SUPER>
If you were to pass something like
$obj = Class::Inner->new(
parent => 'Parent',
methods => { method => sub { ...; $self->SUPER::method(@_) } },
);
then C<$self-C<gt>SUPER::method> almost certainly wouldn't do what you expect,
so we provide the C<SUPER> method which dispatches to the parent
implementation of the current method. There seems to be no good way of
getting the full C<SUPER::> functionality, but I'm working on it.
=item B<DESTROY>
Because B<Class::Inner> works by creating a whole new class name for your
object, it could potentially leak memory if you create a lot of them. So we
add a C<DESTROY> method that removes the class from the symbol table once
it's finished with.
If you need to override a parent's DESTROY method, adding a call to
C<Class::Inner::clean_symbol_table(ref $self)> to it. Do it at the
end of the method or your other method calls won't work.

}
}
# Instantiate
my $obj = $anon_class->new(@constructor_args);
}
=item B<clean_symbol_table>
The helper subroutine that DESTROY uses to remove the class from the
symbol table.
=cut
sub clean_symbol_table {
my $class = shift;
no strict 'refs';
undef %{"${class}::"};
}
=item B<new_classname>
Returns a name for the next anonymous class.

Thanks to the Iterative Software people: Leon Brocard, Natalie Ford and
Dave Cross. Also, this module was written initially for use in the
PerlUnit project, AKA Test::Unit. Kudos to Christian Lemburg and the rest
of that team.
=head1 SEE ALSO
There are a million and one differen Class constructors available on CPAN,
none of them does quite what I want, so I wrote this one to add to
that population where hopefully it will live and thrive.
=head1 BUGS
Bound to be some. Actually the C<SUPER> method is a workaround for what
I consider to be a bug in perl.
