in reply to InsideOut - even tighter coupling
The fastest and most immediate is to make %foo and %bar package variables. Your methods live as package globals, there's no reason their data can't as well. I wouldn't solve this that way though. You're typing a lot of the same things more than once. You also have a bug - you've not accounted for passing in the undef value.
my %Vals; for ( qw(foo bar) ) { my $method = shift; *$method = sub { my $self = shift; my $old = $Vals{$method}{$self}; $Vals{$method}{$self} = @_ ? $_[0] : (); return $old; }; }
Oh yes, I nearly forgot (this is an update). The destroy method. Also, explicit return values are a virtue. It gives you something to expect instead of just having undefined behaviour (which leaving that delete on the end would certainly have done).
sub DESTROY { my $self = shift; delete $_->{$self} for values %Vals; return; }
