=head1 NAME

Package::Generator - generate new packages quickly and easily

=head1 VERSION

version 1.106

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Package::Generator;

    my $package = Package::Generator->new_package;
    ...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module lets you quickly and easily construct new packages.  It gives them
unused names and sets up their package data, if provided.

=head1 INTERFACE

=head2 new_package

  my $package = Package::Generator->new_package(\%arg);

This returns the newly generated package.  It can be called with no arguments,
in which case it just returns the name of a pristene package.  The C<base>
argument can be provided to generate the package under an existing namespace.
A C<make_unique> argument can also be provided; it must be a coderef which will
be passed the base package name and returns a unique package name under the
base name.

A C<data> argument may be passed as a reference to an array of pairs.  These
pairs will be used to set up the data in the generated package.  For example,
the following call will create a package with a C<$foo> set to 1 and a C<@foo>
set to the first ten counting numbers.

  my $package = Package::Generator->new_package({
    data => [
      foo => 1,
      foo => [ 1 .. 10 ],
    ]
  });

For convenience, C<isa> and C<version> arguments may be passed to
C<new_package>.  They will set up C<@ISA>, C<$VERSION>, or C<&VERSION>, as
appropriate.  If a single scalar value is passed as the C<isa> argument, it
will be used as the only value to assign to C<@ISA>.  (That is, it will not
cause C<$ISA> to be assigned;  that wouldn't be very helpful.)

=head2 assign_symbols

  Package::Generator->assign_symbols($package, \@key_value_pairs);

This routine is used by C<L</new_package>> to set up the data in a package.

=head2 package_exists

  ... if Package::Generator->package_exists($package);

This method returns true if something has already created a symbol table for
the named package.  This is equivalent to:

  ... if defined *{$package . '::'};

It's just a little less voodoo-y.
