Class::Factory::Util - Provide utility methods for factory classes
package My::Class;
use Class::Factory::Util;
My::Class->subclasses;
This module exports a method that is useful for factory classes.
When this module is loaded, it creates a method in its caller named
subclasses(). This method returns a list of the available
subclasses for the package. It does this by looking in @INC as
well as the directory containing the caller, and finding any modules
in the immediate subdirectories of the calling module.
So if you have the modules ``Foo::Base'', ``Foo::Base::Bar'', and
``Foo::Base::Baz'', then the return value of Foo::Base->subclasses()
>> would be ``Bar'' and ``Baz''.
