SYNOPSIS

package MyClass;

# use Class::MOP::Class
use metaclass;

# ... or use a custom metaclass
use metaclass 'MyMetaClass';

# ... or use a custom metaclass
# and custom attribute and method
# metaclasses
use metaclass 'MyMetaClass' => (
    'attribute_metaclass' => 'MyAttributeMetaClass',
    'method_metaclass'    => 'MyMethodMetaClass',
);

# ... or just specify custom attribute
# and method classes, and Class::MOP::Class
# is the assumed metaclass
use metaclass (
    'attribute_metaclass' => 'MyAttributeMetaClass',
    'method_metaclass'    => 'MyMethodMetaClass',
);

# if we'd rather not install a 'meta' method, we can do this
use metaclass meta_name => undef;
# or if we'd like it to have a different name,
use metaclass meta_name => 'my_meta';

DESCRIPTION

This is a pragma to make it easier to use a specific metaclass and a set of custom attribute and method metaclasses. It also installs a meta method to your class as well, unless undef is passed to the meta_name option.

Note that if you are using Moose, you most likely do not want to be using this - look into Moose::Util::MetaRole instead.
