I saw a thread recently about inside-out objects, and started thinking about the different ways to do OOP in Perl. At the moment, I generally just bless a hash and access its members (e.g. $self->{member}). As Abigail-II pointed out, though, this can make misspellings into tricky runtime errors. Also, the syntax seems kind of ugly to me.

So I was wondering what OO methodology the Perl Monks use. Some of the ones I'm familiar with are:

• Straight hash-blessing
• Inside-out objects
• Class::Maker
• use fields;

What kind of OO programming do you use and why?
