Re: How can I use AUTOLOAD to magically define get and set methods for my member data?

[jeteve]

Ok, for the non french reader, this is the AUTOLOAD method generating code :

sub AUTOLOAD{
my ($self,$value)= @_ ;

return if $AUTOLOAD =~ /::DESTROY$/ ;

my $attname = $AUTOLOAD;

$attname =~ s/.*::// ;

if(! exists $self->{$attname}){
 Carp::confess("Attribute $attname does not exists in $self");
}

my $pkg = ref($self ) ;

my $code = qq{
               package $pkg ;
               sub $attname {
                       my \$self = shift ;
                       \@_ ? \$self->{$attname} = shift :
                       \$self->{$attname} ;
               }
       
       };

eval $code ;
if( $@ ){
  Carp::confess("Failed to create method $AUTOLOAD : $@");
}
       
goto &$AUTOLOAD ;
               
}
