A contrived example showing that private methods can be simulated with lexical coderefs:
use strict;
use warnings;
package Foo;
sub new { bless {salary => 100} }
my $private_method = sub {
my $self = shift;
my $factor = shift || 2;
$self->{salary} *= $factor;
};
sub get_salary {
my $self = shift;
$self->$private_method(10);
return $self->{salary};
}
package main;
my $foo = Foo->new;
printf "salary is %s\n", $foo->get_salary;
Admittedly the boilerplate issue is still there.

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).
