NAME
       Class::MOP::Method::Constructor - Method Meta Object for constructors

VERSION
       version 2.4000

SYNOPSIS
         use Class::MOP::Method::Constructor;

         my $constructor = Class::MOP::Method::Constructor->new(
             metaclass => $metaclass,
             options   => {
                 debug => 1, # this is all for now
             },
         );

         # calling the constructor ...
         $constructor->body->execute($metaclass->name, %params);

DESCRIPTION
       This is a subclass of Class::MOP::Method which generates constructor
       methods.

METHODS
       Class::MOP::Method::Constructor->new(%options)
           This creates a new constructor object. It accepts a hash reference
           of options.

           o       metaclass

                   This should be a Class::MOP::Class object. It is required.

           o       name

                   The method name (without a package name). This is required.

           o       package_name

                   The package name for the method. This is required.

           o       is_inline

                   This indicates whether or not the constructor should be
                   inlined. This defaults to false.

       $metamethod->is_inline
           Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the constructor is
           inlined.

       $metamethod->associated_metaclass
           This returns the Class::MOP::Class object for the method.
