This would work, but has a couple of minor issues:
- We've added another layer of indirection. Means that direct access is a little slower.
- We have to mention the "name" of the object attribute twice (the xx in $$xx and qw/xx private/.
- It's more work if you don't want the accessors.
If we want to name an object attribute explicitly we could do it with a modified :Field attribute. For example, something like this wouldn't be hard to implement.
my %foo : Field; # no accessor
my %foo : Field(as foo); # create accessor named foo
While easy to implement, it still has the duplication of names... which offends :-)

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
