after reading through PerlMonks Sections I decided this post should go here...

I have been using Autoload extensively for my getters and setters, and refrained from "auto-writing" them, basically because I didn't like how it looked in the code.

I also stumbled across some code that uses a baseclass with a makeattr-method it uses as "initializer", to write these accessors, which I also find pretty cool...

Now I was wondering, which method do others prefer?

So I would like to open a discussion:

what are the advantages and drawbacks of each method, or do you see a third alternative? And which do you prefer?

Maybe someone with a higher level would like to make this into a poll?
