I've worked mostly with Class::MethodMaker prior to V2.0 so I cannot
help you much on this problem.

However, I think you should consider the alternatives (depending on
your needs):
- stick with Class::MethodMaker < v2.00, which worked quite well in my
  experience.
- Use Class::MakeMethods [1]
- Use Class::IntrospectionMethods [2] (the introspection feature is
  optional, so it can be used as a low-fat Class::MethodMaker)

I insist on the fact that you must carefully consider your
requirements before choosing a module as all these modules have their
pros and cons.
