Hi!
I'm in the middle of learning OO Perl. I'm wondering if there exist any conventions about naming methods, attributes, instance variables etc. My question isn't OO Perl specific and could also be extended to functional Perl.
Given a subroutine/method to get a value I saw the following versions:
getValue {
...
}
get_value {
...
}
getvalue {
...
}
Also with named attribute there are different versions:
my $foo = new foo(
AttributeName => "name",
attribute_name => "name",
attributename => "name",
);
The same applies to variable names, package/class names, etc.
Are there any specific suggetions, guidelines or conventions for this?
Thanks, Kurt

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.
