This is the Class::Singleton module. A Singleton describes an
|
||
|
|
object class that can have only one instance in any system. An
|
||
|
|
example of a Singleton might be a print spooler or system
|
||
|
|
registry. This module implements a Singleton class from which
|
||
|
|
other classes can be derived. By itself, the Class::Singleton
|
||
|
|
module does very little other than manage the instantiation of a
|
||
|
|
single object. In deriving a class from Class::Singleton, your
|
||
|
|
module will inherit the Singleton instantiation method and can
|
||
|
|
implement whatever specific functionality is required.
