NAME
       Class::MakeMethods::Basic::Global - Basic shared methods

SYNOPSIS
	 package MyObject;
	 use Class::MakeMethods::Basic::Global (
	   scalar => [ 'foo', 'bar' ],
	   array => 'my_list',
	   hash => 'my_index',
	 );
	 ....

	 # Store and retrieve global values
	 MyObject->foo('Foobar');
	 print MyObject->foo();

	 # All instances of your class access the same values
	 $my_object->bar('Barbados');
	 print $other_one->bar();

	 # Array accessor
	 MyObject->my_list(0 => 'Foozle', 1 => 'Bang!');
	 print MyObject->my_list(1);

	 # Hash accessor
	 MyObject->my_index('broccoli' => 'Blah!', 'foo' => 'Fiddle');
	 print MyObject->my_index('foo');

DESCRIPTION
       The Basic::Global subclass of MakeMethods provides basic accessors for
       data shared by an entire class, sometimes called "static" or "class
       data."

   Calling Conventions
       When you "use" this package, the method names you provide as arguments
       cause subroutines to be generated and installed in your module.

       See "Calling Conventions" in Class::MakeMethods::Basic for a summary,
       or "USAGE" in Class::MakeMethods for full details.

   Declaration Syntax
       To declare methods, pass in pairs of a method-type name followed by one
       or more method names. Valid method-type names for this package are
       listed in "METHOD GENERATOR TYPES".

       See "Declaration Syntax" in Class::MakeMethods::Basic for more syntax
       information.

METHOD GENERATOR TYPES
   scalar - Shared Accessor
       For each method name passed, uses a closure to generate a subroutine
       with the following characteristics:

       ·   May be called as a class method, or equivalently, on any object
	   instance.

       ·   Stores a global value accessible only through this method.

       ·   If called without any arguments returns the current value.

       ·   If called with an argument, stores that as the value, and returns
	   it,

       Sample declaration and usage:

	 package MyObject;
	 use Class::MakeMethods::Basic::Hash (
	   scalar => 'foo',
	 );
	 ...

	 # Store value
	 MyObject->foo('Foozle');

	 # Retrieve value
	 print MyObject->foo;

   array - Shared Ref Accessor
       For each method name passed, uses a closure to generate a subroutine
       with the following characteristics:

       ·   May be called as a class method, or equivalently, on any object
	   instance.

       ·   Stores a global value accessible only through this method.

       ·   The value will be a reference to an array (or undef).

       ·   If called without any arguments, returns the current array-ref
	   value (or undef).

       ·   If called with one argument, uses that argument as an index to
	   retrieve from the referenced array, and returns that value (or
	   undef). If the single argument is an array ref, then a slice of the
	   referenced array is returned.

       ·   If called with a list of index-value pairs, stores the value at the
	   given index in the referenced array. If the value was previously
	   undefined, a new array is autovivified. The current value in each
	   position will be overwritten, and later arguments with the same
	   index will override earlier ones. Returns the current array-ref
	   value.

       Sample declaration and usage:

	 package MyObject;
	 use Class::MakeMethods::Basic::Hash (
	   array => 'bar',
	 );
	 ...

	 # Set values by position
	 $obj->bar(0 => 'Foozle', 1 => 'Bang!');

	 # Positions may be overwritten, and in any order
	 $obj->bar(2 => 'And Mash', 1 => 'Blah!');

	 # Retrieve value by position
	 print $obj->bar(1);

	 # Retrieve slice of values by position
	 print join(', ', $obj->bar( [0, 2] ) );

	 # Direct access to referenced array
	 print scalar @{ $obj->bar() };

	 # Reset the array contents to empty
	 @{ $obj->bar() } = ();

   hash - Shared Ref Accessor
       For each method name passed, uses a closure to generate a subroutine
       with the following characteristics:

       ·   May be called as a class method, or equivalently, on any object
	   instance.

       ·   Stores a global value accessible only through this method.

       ·   The value will be a reference to a hash (or undef).

       ·   If called without any arguments, returns the current hash-ref value
	   (or undef).

       ·   If called with one argument, uses that argument as an index to
	   retrieve from the referenced hash, and returns that value (or
	   undef). If the single argument is an array ref, then a slice of the
	   referenced hash is returned.

       ·   If called with a list of key-value pairs, stores the value under
	   the given key in the referenced hash. If the value was previously
	   undefined, a new hash is autovivified. The current value under each
	   key will be overwritten, and later arguments with the same key will
	   override earlier ones. Returns the current hash-ref value.

       Sample declaration and usage:

	 package MyObject;
	 use Class::MakeMethods::Basic::Hash (
	   hash => 'baz',
	 );
	 ...

	 # Set values by key
	 $obj->baz('foo' => 'Foozle', 'bar' => 'Bang!');

	 # Values may be overwritten, and in any order
	 $obj->baz('broccoli' => 'Blah!', 'foo' => 'Fiddle');

	 # Retrieve value by key
	 print $obj->baz('foo');

	 # Retrieve slice of values by position
	 print join(', ', $obj->baz( ['foo', 'bar'] ) );

	 # Direct access to referenced hash
	 print keys %{ $obj->baz() };

	 # Reset the hash contents to empty
	 @{ $obj->baz() } = ();
