Hello Monks, I have a base class which many other classes inherit from. During the init process of those child classes they want to dynamicly create methods based on init paramaters. This will only happen once and will happen for each of the child classes. I would like to do something like this: 
*{"${class}::$method"} = sub {
    my $self = shift;
    #more dynamic build stuff here
    return $self;
};

The thing I dont like is I have to wrap it all in a block and do a no strict 'refs'. Keeping in mind the methods really do need to be generated during the init phase, dynaicaly, is there anything wrong with the approach? I assume there must be some nasties if I have to turn off strict refs... What do I need to know? Thanks!!
