I barely tread water at this point as it hits the limits of my understanding of the object oriented model, but I'll offer this:
When I subclass a module, add some capability but then want all the parent's accessors available, I use AUTOLOAD. See Net::Telnet::Cisco source for an example - note it's not my module, but I've used that example in some of my stuff.
When I create my own stuff and the object has a ton of stuff that all needs accessors and they all are pretty much the same save for the key/value pair, I create them programmaticly. See Cisco::SNMP source for example, specifically the _mk_accessors_*() subs and how they're called from the sub modules (Cisco::SNMP::*)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
