=head1 NAME

Class::MOP::Mixin - Base class for mixin classes

=head1 VERSION

version 2.4000

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class provides a few methods which are useful in all metaclasses.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Class::MOP::Mixin->meta

This returns a L<Class::MOP::Class> object for the mixin class.

=head2 Class::MOP::Mixin->_throw_exception

Throws an exception in the L<Moose::Exception> family. This should ONLY be
used internally -- any callers outside Class::MOP::* should be using the
version in L<Moose::Util> instead.
