This module was created as an alternative to use fields, and uses Class::Accessor::Fast as a base Creates accessors at compiletime Have own default new method: it creates object as a blessed hash, then locks keys to defined field list, and invoke init. So, recommended usage inside packages, is access by hash keys (it's 3 times faster then accessor). Since keys are locked, you will not suffer from autovivification. Public interface recommended to be documented as accessors. Uses Class::C3 WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/accessors-fast/
