I concur; this is a very elegant solution, kind of like a dynamic dispatcher.

Expanding upon the concept of making sure the reblessings are in a known tree, what you are describing appears to be a Finite State Machine.

Given a current state (class A) and event (X fails), a new state (class B) is chosen; or, alternatively for a different event (Y fails), a different new state (class C) is selected.

Construct a table with all possible states down the Y-axis and events across the X-axis, thus documenting the permitted state transitions. Here a dash (-) represents illegal states (i.e., should not happen, is an error if it does):

state | event X | event Y | event Z -------+-----------+-----------+----------- A | B | C | E -------+-----------+-----------+----------- B | D | - | E -------+-----------+-----------+----------- C | E | - | - -------+-----------+-----------+----------- | | | ... etc. | | | -------+-----------+-----------+----------- E | - | - | B -------+-----------+-----------+-----------

There are probably other ways to track a complex transition graph, but I've gotten great use out of this qapproach.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
