DESCRIPTION
In several cases, Class::MakeMethods provides functionality closely
equivalent to that of an existing module, and it is simple to map the
existing module's interface to that of Class::MakeMethods.
Class::MakeMethods::Emulator provides emulators for Class::MethodMaker,
Class::Accessor::Fast, Class::Data::Inheritable, Class::Singleton,
Class::Struct, accessors, and mcoder, each of which passes the original
module's test suite, usually requiring only the addition of a a single
line to each test, activating the emulation module.
Beyond demonstrating compatibility, these emulators also generally
indicate the changes needed to switch to direct use of
Class::MakeMethods functionality, illustrate commonalities between the
various modules, and serve as a source for new ideas that can be
integrated into Class::MakeMethods.
