Your example is quite unclear to me. What is this supposed to to?
Well, I had two choices in asking this question. Give the long version
of the story describing the software I am developing and all the
classes and all the things the classes are doing, or simply create a
simple example showing what I did and how I didnt like how I did it. I
decided on brevity.
But to answer your question the way a lawyer does
things, I will tell you exactly what the sub mylol is
doing but not tell you exactly what big problem I'm writing a big
solution to: mylol is a subroutine that
subclasses lol from a package in
the XML::Quickbooks::Tolol::* name space, such as you
see on
line 43 here . That sub lol builds an arrayref of arrayrefs for HTML::Element's
new_from_lol method. As you can see, the first thing that sub does is get a hashref
via $self->data. However, the data that I receive for this one subclass is not in the right format for the parent, so I needed to modify it.
You could simply localize ->{data} and be on your merry way:
"be on your merry way" - lol. Thank you. I thought only package variables, not hashref slots, could be
localized. That does exactly what I want.
I'm not sure what that contraption is supposed to achieve, but then, maybe that's because I have either never encountered the problems that Moose attempts to solve or have always taken other approaches to these problems.
Wow,
Moose is a godsend to me.
