I am not really an expert on Moose but here is one attempt:
package FixedSizeQueue;
use Moose;
has "max_size" => (is => "ro", isa => "Int", default => 10);
has "items" => (is => "ro", isa => "ArrayRef", default => sub { [] });
sub pop {
my($this)=@_;
pop @{$this->items};
}
sub push {
my($this, $item)=@_;
push @{$this->items}, $item;
shift @{$this->items} if scalar @{$this->items} > $this->max_size;
}
This is fuctional but you need to be intantiate it like this:
my $q = FixedSizeQueue->new(max_size => 3);
$q->push(3);
$q->push(5);
$q->push(7);
$q->push(9);
print Dumper($q);
If you want to supply only an integer to the constructor you need to add a BUILDARGS-method to the above:
sub BUILDARGS {
my($this, $max_size)=@_;
return { max_size => $max_size };
}
Now you can use it like your Ruby-example:
my $q = FixedSizeQueue->new(3);
$q->push(3);
$q->push(5);
$q->push(7);
$q->push(9);
print Dumper($q);
</c>
