Re: More efficient return of values from sub

[jbrugger]

I would use oo to solve this, an object keeps all the vals for you that you need, and you can do lots more with them as you pass on.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

my $obj = blah->new();

sub A() {
        print( $obj->getName . " , " . $obj->{address} . "\n" );
}

sub B() {
        print( $obj->getName . " , " . $obj->{address} . "\n" );
}

A;
B;

package blah;
use strict;
sub new() {
        my $classname=shift;
        my $self=bless{};

        $self->{name} = "Sam";
        $self->{address} = "123 Main st";

        return $self;
}

sub getName() {
        my $self=shift;

        if ($self->{name}) {
                return $self->{name};
        } else {
                #Init name and return value...
        }
}
