perl-Meta-Builder

Meta programming is becoming more and more popular. The popularity of Meta
programming comes from the fact that many problems are made significantly
easier. There are a few specialized Meta tools out there, for instance
Class:MOP which is used by Moose to track class metadata.
Meta::Builder is designed to be a generic tool for writing Meta objects.
Unlike specialized tools, Meta::Builder makes no assumptions about what
metrics you will care about. Meta::Builder also makes it simple for others
to extend your meta-object based tools by providing hooks for other
packages to add metrics to your meta object.
If a specialized Meta object tool is available to meet your needs please
use it. However if you need a simple Meta object to track a couple metrics,
use Meta::Builder.
Meta::Builder is also low-sugar and low-dep. In most cases you will not
want a class that needs a meta object to use your meta-object class
directly. Rather you will usually want to create a sugar class that exports
enhanced API functions that manipulate the meta object.
