Re^3: Tutorial: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

As mentioned elsewhere in the comments on your post, the only realy problem with your implementation of accessors is code maintenance - you need to add each get and set and then remember to add each store to the destroyer. I bet a lot of memory leaks would appear by forgetting to do this.

See Class::InsideOut - yet another riff on inside out objects. for one way to avoid the chore of maintaining a DESTROY method.
