Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::Struct - Emulate Class::Struct

       This module aims to offer a "95% compatible" drop-in replacement for the core Class::Struct module for
       purposes of comparison and code migration.

       The "class-struct.t" test for the core Class::Struct module is included with this package. The test is
       unchanged except for the a direct substitution of this emulator's name in the place of the core module.

       However, there are numerous internal differences between the methods generated by the original
       Class::Struct and this emulator, and some existing code may not work correctly without modification.

       This module emulates the functionality of Class::Struct by munging the provided field-declaration
       arguments to match those expected by Class::MakeMethods.

       It supports the same four types of accessors, the choice of array-based or hash-based objects, and the
       choice of installing methods in the current package or a specified target.

       The below three declarations create equivalent methods for a simple hash-based class with a constructor
       and four accessors.

         use Class::Struct;
         struct (
             simple  => '$',
             ordered => '@',
             mapping => '%',
             obj_ref => 'FooObject'
         );

         use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::Struct;
         struct (
             simple  => '$',
             ordered => '@',
             mapping => '%',
             obj_ref => 'FooObject'
           );

         use Class::MakeMethods (
             -MakerClass               => 'Standard::Array',
             'new'                     => 'new',
             'scalar'                  => 'simple',
             'array -auto_init 1'      => 'ordered',
             'hash -auto_init 1'       => 'mapping',
             'object -auto_init 1'     => '-class FooObject obj_ref'
           );
