Problems? Is your data what you think it is?

Lots of great ways to do it - but this smells of an XY Problem to me. As in, why does package A inspect $self? I can imagine a few cases where this may be desirable (especially with dynamic subclasses - subclasses where the name is part of the data), although even then it's kinda suspect (just put the name in the $self hash).

In general, inheritance is done by simply putting overridable actions in their own subs, and then letting each package override the appropriate methods in the appropriate ways. No introspection required. Of course, you don't need to put them in separate files, either, but that's up to you.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
