You can look at Moose, which makes OO writing pretty easy.

A class is declared as:

package Class::Name;
a package is a symbol table namespace, in which symbols are stored. Every class has it's own package which it lives in.

Constructors are anything which calls bless, you should read perltoot to get a handle on that, but if you want to ignore that Moose will provide a default constructor named new for you.

Every class gets DESTROY called right before it's garbage collected. You can hook to that. C<Moose> let's you specify sub DEMOLISH which does not have to call the super class's destructors.

Inheritence is controlled with the special variable @ISA in every package, which contains a list of base classes. YOu can use the extends keyword in Moose to clean that up a bit.

Accessors are autogenerated for you when you use attributes, like:

has name => ( is => "rw", # what accessor to generate, can also be wo or ro );

I don't know what you mean by contexts - that's a very general term.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
