Dear Monks,

i have implemented the composite pattern of the gang of four fame with perl.

Basically i have a perl module, which loads and instanciates perl objects and puts them into a hash.

And i have a function, which iterates through the hash and calls the same function of the perl objects in the hash, something like this:


sub log {
    my $self = shift; 
    my $sender = shift; 
    my $message = shift;
    my $logger = undef; 
    foreach $logger ($self->loggers()) {
    $logger->log($sender, $message);
    }
}

Everthing fine so fare, except a little disturbing thing, that for each new modul i want to use through the composite interface i include a new use statement.

Surely not the most elegant way to add new functionality.

So humbly i ask the Perl Monks if there isn't a more wiser way to do this, to avoid this clumsy addition of a "use" statement for each new Module.

Yours, a humble seeker of Perl wisdom,

Chris
