Before I'm going to change my coding style, I'd like to know what the community thinks of it.

One problem with the approach you set forth is that it doesn't survive subclassing.

Personally, I don't favor automatic creation of accessors (or mutators) at runtime. Development-time code generation can be good, but my experiences with delaying generation until runtime have almost always led to a debugging quagmire. I want accessors/mutators reflected directly in the source.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
