Class::Data::Accessor is one of those couldn't-find-a-better-name
modules; compound with the fact that we have way too many disparate
accessor type modules on CPAN.

It is indeed class AND object aware. Set at the class level, object
level inherits from class, and set object level on it's own if you wish.
It is literally the same as Class::Data::Inheritable, but it's also
object aware.

  __PACKAGE__->mk_classaccessors(qw/foo bar baz/);


I would also recommend looking at Class::Accessor::Grouped. It allows
you to create grouped simple (class data) or inherited (like C::D::A)
accessor data.

  __PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('inherited', qw/foo bar baz/);
