Attribute::Final - Provides Java-style finalized methods

SYNOPSIS

    use Attribute::Final;
    package Beverage::Hot;

    package Tea; 
    use base 'Beverage::Hot';

    sub Tea::serve { # Compile-time error.

DESCRIPTION

Final methods are methods which cannot be overriden in derived classes. This module will allow you to mark some methods as :final; prior to running the script, Perl will check that no packages which derive from classes with marked methods override those methods.
