in reply to perl OO private methods

package Foo;

## declare inside-out hashes here:

my %attr_a;
my %attr_b;

## declare private methods here

my $private_1 = sub {
  my $self = shift;
  # can use $attr_a{$self} here...
  ...
};

my $private_2 = sub {
  my $self = shift;
  ... 
};

## public methods here

sub new { ... }

sub public_1 {
  my $self = shift;
  # can access attributes here
  # can call private methods too, with slightly odd syntax:
  my $result = $self->$private_1(@args);
  ...
}
