This Perl module, when inherited by a package, allows that package's class
to define attribute handler subroutines for specific attributes. Variables
and subroutines subsequently defined in that package, or in packages derived
from that package may be given attributes with the same names as the attribute
handler subroutines, which will then be called in one of the compilation
phases (i.e. in a "BEGIN", "CHECK", "INIT", or "END" block).
