in reply to $foo->bar = 14;

I'm getting

syntax error at C:\test\lvalue.pl line 10, near "$property :" BEGIN not safe after errors--compilation aborted at C:\test\lvalue.pl +line 10.

from

BEGIN { no strict 'refs'; for my $property (qw/id debug display_time default_text/) { *$property : lvalue = sub { $_[SELF]->{$property} }; } }

What am I doing wrong?

    I think the proper syntax would be:

    *$property = sub : lvalue { ... }

    Update: It appears Juerd has fixed it in his original post now too.
