The only reason the normalized designation is a field is purely a syntactic one: it makes it (admittedly slightly!) easier to print within a string: print qq{$standart->{des} ($standart->{norm_des})\n}; looks nicer than print qq{$standart->{des} (} . normalized( $standart->{des}) . qq{)\n};. Otherwise it would be really easy to use a Memoize-ed function to compute it on the fly.
And (before you jump on this one ;--) yes, if I used objects I could use the printf version which looks ok: printf( "%s (%s)\n", $standard->des, $standard->norm_des);
I guess it's purely a matter of personal preference here, but I usually leave OO out of smallish scripts, and comment my data structures.

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).
