.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Template::Plugin::Class allows you to call class methods on
arbitrary classes.  One use for this is in Class::DBI style
applications, where you may do somthing like this:
.PP
.Vb 4
\&  [% USE cd = Class(\*(AqMusic::CD\*(Aq) %]
\&  [% FOREACH disc = cd.retrieve_all %]
\&  [% disc.artist %] \- [% disc.title %]
\&  [% END %]
.Ve
.SH "CAVEATS"
.IX Header "CAVEATS"
You won't be able to directly call \f(CW\*(C`AUTOLOAD\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`DESTROY\*(C'\fR methods
on the remote class.  This shouldn't be a huge hardship.
