The Class::Adapter class is intended as an abstract base class for creating any sort of class or object that follows the Adapter pattern.

This module is intended for use as a base class when you are writing a class that wraps Alzabo's table and row classes.

This is yet another module that generates standard 'get' and 'set' methods for Perl classes. It also handles initialization of object and class data from parameter lists or defaults, and arranges for object creation and initialization to occur in top-down, textbook order even in the presence of multiple inheritance.

Class::Autouse allows you to specify a class the will only load when a method of that class is called. For large classes that might not be used during the running of a program, such as Date::Manip, this can save you large amounts of memory, and decrease the script load time.

This module automagically generates accessor/mutators for your class.

This module makes it easy to build classes using array based objects. It's main goal is to allow one to create less memory hungry programs, notably in memory-sensitive contexts such as mod_perl. This module is little more than a cute way of defining constant subs in your own package. Constant subs are very useful when dealing with array based objects because they allow one to access array slots by name instead of by index.

Class::Closure is a package that makes creating Perl classes less cumbersome. You can think of it as a more featureful Class::Struct.

This module implements a simple base class from which other modules can be derived, thereby inheriting a number of useful methods such as "new()", "init()", "params()", "clone()", "error()" and "debug()".

Normally, if you try to call a method that there's no handler for, you get an error: Can't locate object method "flork" via package "X". But for classes that inherit from Class::BlackHole, unhandled methods become just no-operations.

Class::CodeStyler is an object oriented API to be used by code-generators in producing formatted code (Perl, C, other). The produced code file can also be syntax checked, displayed with line numbers, executed, and eval'd. Code can be inserted anywhere in the generated program using a system of bookmarks and jumps.
