Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : libclass-singleton-perl Version : 1.03 Upstream Author : Andy Wardley, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/author/ABW/Class-Singleton-1.03/ * License : Artistic Description : Implementation of a "Singleton" class
This is the Class::Singleton module. A Singleton describes an object class that can have only one instance in any system. An example of a Singleton might be a print spooler or system registry. This module implements a Singleton class from which other classes can be derived. By itself, the Class::Singleton module does very little other than manage the instantiation of a single object. In deriving a class from Class::Singleton, your module will inherit the Singleton instantiation method and can implement whatever specific functionality is required. . For a description and discussion of the Singleton class, see "Design Patterns", Gamma et al, Addison-Wesley, 1995, ISBN 0-201-63361-2. -- People said I was dumb, but I proved them!
