in reply to Invalid Reference Use - warning Noob

Fields is an accessor, i.e. a method. You can't treat a method call as a hash. But the method returns a hash reference, so you can dereference it:
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; { package MyStruct; use Moose; has fields => ( is => 'rw' ); __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; } my $s = 'MyStruct'->new(fields => { a => 0, b => 1 }); $s->fields->{b}++; print $s->fields->{b};

Update: Another option is to use traits:

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; { package MyStruct; use Moose; has fields => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'HashRef', traits => ['Hash'], handles => { set_fields => 'set', get_fields => 'get', }, ); __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; } my $s = 'MyStruct'->new(fields => { a => 0, b => 1 }); $s->set_fields(b => $s->get_fields('b') + 1); print $s->get_fields('b');

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,
