I found this whole thread interesting. When i read the title I thought "yep, I agree with that" but then on reading closer it wasnt even what I was thinking at all! :-) What I thought you meant was all those aweful sub like
sub get_foo {
my $self=shift;
return $self->{foo};
}
and its correspondingly ugly set_foo. If you had been talking about those being evil then i would agree. :-) Perl offers fancier and IMO more intuitive ways to do things:
sub foo {
my $self=shift;
if (@_) {
$self->{foo}=shift;
return $self;
} else {
return $self->{foo}
}
}
(or a variant thereof, you can golf it down nicely. :-)
