( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I drew a distinction between "inside-out" (lexicals for each property) and "flyweight" (single lexical holding hashrefs for each object). That may be arbitrary, but I think it's significant as inside-out, defined that way, makes property names into lexical identifiers that can be checked with strict, unlike hash keys:

# regular object $self->{name} = "Larry"; # name is a hash key # flyweight object, as per Damian's book my @objects; $objects->[$$self]->{name} = "Moe"; # name is a hash key # inside-out object my %name; $name{ refaddr $self } = "Curly"; # name is a lexical variable

I don't have TheDamian's Object-Oriented Perl handy at the moment, but I don't recall that it went beyond the flyweight idea. Abigail-II's talk on Lexical::Attributes was the first I'd seen of it, and I hadn't come across any prior art before Re: Where/When is OO useful?.

I certainly believe that Abigail was building upon Damian's foundation -- a point that I made verbally in the talk on p.9, which shows the evolution from class properties to the flyweight pattern as a setup for explaining the inside-out pattern.

I included Damian's book in the reference as valuable background material in general, as this was an introductory talk and I did cover the flyweight pattern, albeit briefly.

If I have overlooked some prior art there or elsewhere, I welcome a specific correction and citation and would be happy to include it in the talk.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
