.IX Header "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.
.SS "Standard Methods"
.IX Subsection "Standard Methods"
The following methods from Generic are all supported:
.PP
.Vb 10
\&  new 
\&  scalar
\&  string
\&  string_index 
\&  number 
\&  boolean
\&  bits 
\&  array
\&  hash
\&  tiedhash
\&  hash_of_arrays
\&  object
\&  instance
\&  array_of_objects
\&  code
\&  code_or_scalar
.Ve
.PP
See Class::MakeMethods::Template::Generic for the interfaces and behaviors of these method types.
.PP
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.
