Hello,

I am lazy. That is why I code in Perl. And if a loop of some sort can set/define most of my variables, then I will use that and get the 'one-offs' later. Which brings me to my problem. I have the following code: 
package LDAPclient;
use Moose;

my @ldap_attrs = qw(
                      ssl
                      host
                      port
                      retry
                      timeout
                      version
                      loginID
                      loginPW
                      logging
);

for my $name (@ldap_attrs) {
    my $reader = 'get_' . $name;
    my $writer = 'set_' . $name;
    has $name => (
                  is       => 'rw',
                  reader   => $reader,
                  writer   => $writer,
                  required => 0
                 );
  }

I want to set default values for ssl, port, retry, timeout, version and logging... but I don't want to have 5 different "has" lines with each having the is, reader, writer, required and default parts. Is there a way to set a default for a value outside of the above loop? If so, I would appreciate an example.

thanks, frank
