How would I go about creating a module that uses both OO and functional interfaces?

I tend to supply named arguments, and I get an error warning that there is an odd number of arguments in a hash assignment if I use a subroutine expecting $self as it's first argument.

I wouldn't think checking that the first argument is a reference is a solution - making pass-by-reference awkward is a Bad Thing :)

Below is a sample of _rough_ code that will only work as OO - how can it be transformed to work as a functional or OO module (like CGI.pm, for example - which I can't figure out :-) ).

package Foo; # use Modules; # set up @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK etc for functional interface sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = {}; bless ($self, $class); } sub print_args { my $self = shift; my %args = @_; print $args{'foo'}, $args{'bar'}, "\n"; } package Bar; $obj = Foo->new(); $obj->Foo::print_args(foo => "Perl", bar => "Monks"); exit;
Cheers.

  • 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).
