What you really want is to generate the subs before hand, from some resourcefile (XML works well). You can even have the seutp be part of the package

sub getset_subs {
  return [qw/size height weight/];
}

That can be used by the generator program to take the existing package and add a bunch of set/get subs to the end of it.

This isn't perfect for all situations, you don't always know what you want before hand. But memory is cheap, IMO always calculate & produce code before hand if you can instead of producing the same structures at runtime again and again. Just make sure to keep the machine generated code machine generated. Editing machine generated code is a maintenance nightmare.
