I am fully in support of this type of encapsulation. Programmers ought not to be fiddling with an object's member variables without being invited first. Programmers doing that deserve the heck they get from it. I do it sometimes because the implementation on CPAN wasn't precient enough to suit my needs so a mutation is needed. I also do it because it is fun. I don't do it in places that matter. (well maybe except LWP::Simple::Cookies, LWP::Simple::Post, and B::Deobfuscate but those are exceptions and well enough defined exception areas.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
