This piece of code may serve as the base class for objects that need singleton methods (methods specific for this object and not for whole class). One can use it directly
my $obj = DynObject->new(id => 'MyObj', action => sub{print "hi\n";});
print $obj->id, "\n";
$obj->action();
or as base class
$obj = MyDyn->new(id => 'MyObj');
print $obj->id, "\n";
$obj->action();
package MyDyn;
use base 'DynObject';
sub action
{
print "hi\n";
}
use strict;
package DynObject;
use Carp;
my $counter = 0;
sub new
{
my $class = shift;
croak("The number of parameters must be even") unless @_ % 2 == 0;
no strict 'refs';
my $type = ref $class;
my $code;
if(!$type)
{
$type = __PACKAGE__;
$type .= "::obj@{[$counter++]}";
*{"${type}::ISA"} = [$class];
}
for(my $i = 0; $i < @_; $i+=2)
{
croak("The method name '$_[$i]' is not a word")
unless $_[$i] =~ /^\w+$/ && $_[$i] !~ /^\d+$/;
if(ref $_[$i+1] eq 'CODE')
{
*{"${type}::$_[$i]"} = $_[$i+1];
}
elsif(defined $_[$i+1] && !ref $_[$i+1])
{
my $str = $_[$i+1];
*{"${type}::$_[$i]"} = sub{$str};
}
else
{
delete ${"${type}::"}{$_[$i]};
}
}
return ref $class ? $class : bless [], $type;
}
sub DESTROY
{
my $obj = shift;
my $type = ref $obj;
$type =~ s/(\w+)$//;
my $name = $1 . "::";
no strict 'refs';
delete ${$type}{$name};
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
