in reply to Generally accepted style in Perl objects

Well you're seriously wasting overhead programming in OO if you directly access the vars. As Damian Conway say's

Thou shalt not access thy encapsulated data directly lest thou screwe it up.1

By allowing yourself to take advantage of the casual nature of perl OO, you open yourself up to the problems that OO design seeks to avoid
