Hi KSURi,

Thanks for your questions. Before getting into the details; I did make some assumptions that need to be tested:

The class level structure (defined in Foo) is a effectively a struct definition:

So, if in Foo, you define

package Foo;
use base qw/Class::StructAccessors/;
__PACKAGE__->mk_struct_accessors({A => {B => C}});
[download]

then the actual method created is C.

my $obj = {};
bless $obj, "Foo";
$obj->{A}{B}{C} = "this is a C";
print $obj->C; # outputs  "this is a C"
[download]

If you want another object with another fixed structure, then you need another class

package Bar;
use base qw/Class::StructAccessors/;
__PACKAGE__->mk_struct_accessors({X => {Y => Z}});
[download]

This will generate accessor method for Z.

In an nutshell, the above code works when you have finite number of structures that are know at run time.

I'm getting the feeling that you want a more dynamic solution that'll work at the instance on any structure; something like:

my $obj = bless {a => {b => {c  => 'data  for c'}}},  "Class::StructAc
+cessorMk2";
[download]

Always happy to assist (and code) :-) Please advise.

• 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).
