Hmmm... prototype-based programming?

Something like Self (or NewtonScript), where your objects inherit not from classes but from prototypes (usually one, but it can be extended), and each object is more-or-less a hash (with subrefs for methods), and you search for a value, given the key, starting from the invocant (which is passed to each method call unchanged) up through the proto chain.

$obj1={ _proto=>$base_obj, do_something=>sub{ print $_[0]->get('string')}, string=>'object one'}; $obj2={ _proto=>$obj1, change=>sub{ $_[0]->set('string',$_[1])}}; $obj2->call('do_something'); $obj2->call('set','object two'); $obj2->call('do_something'); $obj1->call('do_something'); __END__ would print: object one object two object one

This would work since the get walks the proto chain, but set sets thing directly on the invocant.

Of course you can clean up the syntax using AUTOLOAD and tied hashes, but that's just sugar.

In your case, you'll have each buffer as an object, with proto=>$BaseBuffer, and each "mode" will add itself to the proto chain: on reading, the value will be the mode's default, on writing you'll get a "buffer-local" variable.

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.
