+=head2 Package Variables
+
+Since Perl's classes are built atop the Perl package system, it is
+fairly common to use package scoped variables for things like static
+class variables. The following methods are convience methods for
+the creation and inspection of package scoped variables.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<add_package_variable ($variable_name, ?$initial_value)>
+
+Given a C<$variable_name>, which must contain a leading sigil, this
+method will create that variable within the package which houses the
+class. It also takes an optional C<$initial_value>, which must be a
+reference of the same type as the sigil of the C<$variable_name>
+implies.
+
+=item B<get_package_variable ($variable_name)>
+
+This will return a reference to the package variable in
+C<$variable_name>.
+
+=item B<has_package_variable ($variable_name)>
+
+Returns true (C<1>) if there is a package variable defined for
+C<$variable_name>, and false (C<0>) otherwise.
+
+=item B<remove_package_variable ($variable_name)>
+
+This will attempt to remove the package variable at C<$variable_name>.
