_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:

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

helps (optional)
