( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I like to use AUTOLOAD for my accessors like:
sub AUTOLOAD { my $self = shift; return unless ref($self); # lets find out what the mysterious missing func is my ($attribute) = $AUTOLOAD =~ m/.*::(.*)/; # this is our psuedo get/set # we can make this as simple or complex as we want if( my $value = shift ){ ### we have an argument # if attribute exists # this is our sort of rudimentary access control # so we can't create arbitrary attributes if( exists $self->{$attribute} ){ $self->{$attribute} = $value; }elsif( exists $self->{ lc($attribute) } ){ # double check caller didn't mean lower case $self->{ lc($attribute) } = $value; }else{ # we can put assignment code here if # we want to be able to automatically # create object attributes on the fly } # here is a good place to call your commit() # or write() method if applicable $self->write(); }else{ # must be an get type call return $self->{$attribute} if exists $self->{$attribute}; return $self->{lc($attribute)} if exists $self->{lc($attribute)}; }# end if/elsif/else value = shift }

Update: BrentDax is spot on

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.
