The Class::Singleton module implements a Singleton class from which other
classes can be derived. A Singleton describes an object class that can have
only one instance in any system. An example of a Singleton might be a print
spooler or system registry.
.
By itself, the Class::Singleton module does very little other than manage the
instantiation of a single object. In deriving a class from Class::Singleton,
your module will inherit the Singleton instantiation method and can implement
whatever specific functionality is required.
