You could use AUTOLOAD to avoid hacking the symbol table.
Update:
One of our fellow monks asked for an example.
So here is very simplified one.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use v5.12;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
package Attr;
use Carp;
my %attr = (one => 1, two => 2);
sub new {
my $class = shift;
bless {}, $class;
}
our $AUTOLOAD;
# Generic setter/getter
sub AUTOLOAD {
my $self = shift;
my $called = $AUTOLOAD =~ s/.*:://r;
croak "$AUTOLOAD: no such method" unless exists $attr{$called};
if (@_ > 0) {
$self->{$called} = shift;
} else {
return $self->{$called};
}
}
package main;
my $attr = Attr->new;
$attr->one('uno');
say $attr->one;
eval {say $attr->three};
say $@ if $@;
__DATA__
uno
Attr::three: no such method at /home/jo/Programs/play-scripts/pm-11125
+489.pl line 38.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
