A Singleton describes an object class that can have only one instance
|
|
in any system. 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.
