Need Help??

chorg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So I'm going to make some objects

I want to use one of the Class::* modules to make my life simpler re. acessors. It's great that these classes do that, but where do they put the accessors? How would I modify them?

Class::MethodMaker

To modify these methods, you just need to define your own. To quote from the perldoc:

To override any generated methods, it is sufficient to ensure that the overriding method is defined when Class::MethodMaker is called. Note that the use keyword introduces a BEGIN block, so you may need to define (or at least declare) your overriding method in a BEGIN block.
