Moose::AttributeHelpers::Counter

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package MyHomePage;
  use Moose;
  use Moose::AttributeHelpers;

  has 'counter' => (
      metaclass => 'Counter',
      is        => 'ro',
      isa       => 'Num',
      default   => 0,
      handles   => {
          inc_counter   => 'inc',
          dec_counter   => 'dec',
          reset_counter => 'reset',
      }
  );

  my $page = MyHomePage->new();
  $page->inc_counter; # same as $page->counter( $page->counter + 1 );
  $page->dec_counter; # same as $page->counter( $page->counter - 1 );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simple counter attribute, which can be
incremented and decremented.

If your attribute definition does not include any of I<is>, I<isa>,
I<default> or I<handles> but does use the C<Counter> metaclass,
then this module applies defaults as in the L</SYNOPSIS>
above. This allows for a very basic counter definition:

  has 'foo' => (metaclass => 'Counter');
  $obj->inc_foo;

=head1 PROVIDED METHODS

It is important to note that all those methods do in place
modification of the value stored in the attribute.

=over 4

=item I<set>

Set the counter to the specified value.

=item I<inc>

Increments the value stored in this slot by 1. Providing an argument will
cause the counter to be increased by specified amount.

=item I<dec>

Decrements the value stored in this slot by 1. Providing an argument will
cause the counter to be increased by specified amount.

=item I<reset>

Resets the value stored in this slot to it's default value.
