Acme::Isn::t(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Acme::Isn::t(3) NAME Acme::Isn't - Determine whether your objects are NOT a certain class. SYNOPSIS use Acme::Isn't; use Some::OO::Module; my $obj = Some::Other::OO::Module->new(); die EDOOFUS if $obj->isn't('Some::OO::Module'); DESCRIPTION This module allows a programmer to determine conclusively whether their objects are not of a certain type. This sort of test can be useful to e.g. programmatically enforce inheritance hierarchies. This allows for much cleaner code than using unless and isa. USAGE "Acme::Isn't" is a bit magical. You can use the "isn't" method on any object you create, and just pass it a class name that you want to ensure that your object is not. "isn't" returns 1 if true, 0 if false. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This module was almost wholly inspired by Damian Conway's Acme::Don't module.
