Indeed, which is why we've gotten rid of most of Perl 5's (not so) beloved boilerplate in Perl 6. Here's the same code (more or less) in Perl 6:

class Foo {
    has $!salary;
    method !private_method ($factor = 2) { $!salary *= $factor }
    method salary { self!private_method(10); $!salary }
}

my Foo $foo .= new(:salary(100));
say "salary is ", $foo.salary;

This may or may not tweak the refactoring knob back toward methods; Perl 6 is still not Java, after all.

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.
