* Package name : libclass-adapter-perl Version : 1.04 Upstream Author : Adam Kennedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Class-Adapter/ * License : Perl (GPL+Artistic) Programming Lang: Perl Description : Perl implementation of the "Adapter" Design Pattern The Class::Adapter class is intended as an abstract base class for creating any sort of class or object that follows the Adapter pattern. . The term Adapter refers to a "Design Pattern" of the same name, from the famous "Gang of Four" book "Design Patterns". Although their original implementation was designed for Java and similar single-inheritance strictly-typed langauge, the situation for which it applies is still valid. . An Adapter in this Perl sense of the term is when a class is created to achieve by composition (objects containing other object) something that can't be achieved by inheritance (sub-classing). . This is similar to the Decorator pattern, but is intended to be applied on a class-by-class basis, as opposed to being able to be applied one object at a time, as is the case with the Decorator pattern. PS: this perl module is a dependency of Koha. I do not know it at all. I wrote the description from the documentation but I would accept any proposed improvment. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
