This list catalogs class builders for classes that use array (instead of the
popular hash) as their backend storage.

Hash is the vastly popular backend for object due to its flexibility and
convenient mapping of hash keys to object attributes, but actually Perl objects
can be references to any kind of data (array, scalar, glob). Storing objects as
other kinds of references can be useful in terms of attribute access speed,
memory size, or other aspects. But they are not as versatile and generic as
hash.

=head1 NAME

Acme::CPANModules::ArrayClassBuilder - List of class builders for array-backed classes

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of Acme::CPANModules::ArrayClassBuilder (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-ArrayClassBuilder), released on 2022-03-08.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This list catalogs class builders for classes that use array (instead of the
popular hash) as their backend storage.

Hash is the vastly popular backend for object due to its flexibility and
convenient mapping of hash keys to object attributes, but actually Perl objects
can be references to any kind of data (array, scalar, glob). Storing objects as
other kinds of references can be useful in terms of attribute access speed,
memory size, or other aspects. But they are not as versatile and generic as
hash.

=head2 What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module
names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and
