Ok, Perl 5.8.0 introduces runtime application of variable attributes.
All fine and dandy. However, I'd like to be able to pass variables in my
attribute declarations. For example:
my $bar = 3;
my Cat $foo : Legs($bar);
As perldelta (perl58delta for bleaders) says:
In particular, however, this allows variable attributes to
be useful for "tie" interfaces, which was a deficiency of earlier
releases.
So, how does one actually evaluate the $bar?
MODIFY_SCALAR_ATTRIBUTES gets called with a string
"Legs($bar)" and no hook into the appropriate namespace.

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).
