But the user has no way at all of accessing or modifying your data fields unless you've defined an accessor method.
Not quite. You can still go "under the hood" from outside of the module: my $person = new Person;
$person->name("Foo Bar");
$person->age(22);
# No 'toes' method
$person->("toes", 12);
print $person->name, " is ", $person->age, " years old.\n";
print "And has ", $person->("toes"), " toes\n";

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).
