I buy that.

But it's not a far stretch to use very very light-weight classes and use a simple hash for the properties until you need something more. This is an entire class in a small steal-entries-from-http://buzz.bazooka.se/-and-fake-email-posts-to-our-internal-bullshit-list-at-work program I wrote for the fun of it after a coffe break discussion:

package Buzz::Post::Comment; use HTML::Entities; sub new { my $pkg = shift; bless(my $self = { @_ }, $pkg); $self->{text} =~ s{<br />}{\n}gs; $self->{text} = decode_entities($self->{text}); return($self); }

It's not really a serious class in that you can't see what properties there are, there is no documentation, no visible interface to new() etc.

But the benefits I get are:

  • No hassle, it's almost like just using a hash
  • OO thinking, which is the way I work
  • A good name. That's always worth a lot
  • Somewhere to put my methods instead of in the pile of subs

Basically it's the same laid-back scripting attitude, but with a touch of structure.

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.
