# [METHODS](#METHODS)

## [Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor->new(%options)](#Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor)

This constructs a new object. It accepts the following options:

- package\_name
  
  The package for the class in which the destructor is being inlined. This option is required.
- name
  
  The name of the destructor method. This option is required.
- metaclass
  
  The metaclass for the class this destructor belongs to. This is optional, as it can be set later by calling "$metamethod->attach\_to\_class".

## [Moose::Meta;:Method::Destructor->is\_needed($metaclass)](#Moose::Meta;:Method::Destructor)

Given a Moose::Meta::Class object, this method returns a boolean indicating whether the class needs a destructor. If the class or any of its parents defines a "DEMOLISH" method, it needs a destructor.
