Ok, I'l agree with your point about making the computer do the boring repetitive stuff.

But back to my question:

How do you handle getter/setters when the attributes interact? In your shipping example, what would keep me from (assuming I understand the methods correctly) setting from_state to Massachusetts and is_from_west_coast to TRUE? Shouldn't setting the state cause the west coast flag to flip on or off as appropriate?

A handrolled get/set could enforce all these things; doesn't C:MM fall short here?

I am not C:MM bashing; I use it and am a fan; I just haven't figured out how to handle interrelated attribs yet.

Thanks for your 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.
