NAME
    Class::Accessor::Array::Slurpy - Generate accessors/constructor for
    array-based object (supports slurpy attribute)

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.020 of Class::Accessor::Array::Slurpy
    (from Perl distribution Class-Accessor-Array-Slurpy), released on
    2017-09-13.

SYNOPSIS
    In lib/Your/Class.pm:

     package Your::Class;
     use Class::Accessor::Array::Slurpy {
         accessors => {
             foo => 0,
             bar => 1,
             baz => 2,
         },
         slurpy_attribute => 'baz',
     };

    In code that uses your class:

     use Your::Class;

     my $obj = Your::Class->new;
     $obj->foo(1);
     $obj->bar(2);
     $obj->baz([3,4,5]);

    $obj is now:

     bless([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], "Your::Class");

DESCRIPTION
    This module is a builder for array-backed classes. It is the same as
    Class::Accessor::Array except that you can define your last (in term of
    the index in array storage) attribute to be a "slurpy attribute",
    meaning it is an array where its elements are stored as elements of the
    array storage. There can be at most one slurpy attribute and it must be
    the last.

    Note that without a slurpy attribute, you can still store arrays or
    other complex data in your attributes. It's just that with a slurpy
    attribute, you can keep a single flat array backend, so the overall
    number of arrays is minimized.

    An example of application: tree node objects, where the first attribute
    (array element) is the parent, then zero or more extra attributes, then
    the last attribute is a slurpy one storing zero or more children. This
    is how Mojo::DOM stores its HTML tree node, for example.
