I'm partial to array backed objects where applicable. But I've never actually tried a blessed code ref... until 5 minutes ago after reading your reply! It might be a good solution to my application.

Out of interest, do you have insight on how perl knows to call the underlying code ref and not a method that may or may not be in the package? An extra lookup/check must be done when called?


#eg
$code_ref_obj->();#calls code ref directly
$code_ref_obj->a_method(); #Call a method on the object

Thanks again for you comments

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.
