Two alternatives to the hash of hashes way come to mind.
Use an anonymous array ref as your object, and store your two hashes inside that:
package XYZ;
use constant {
HASH1 => 0,
HASH2 => 1,
}
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = [
{ something => 'this' },
{ something_else => 'that' }
];
return bless $self, $class;
}
sub method {
my $self = shift;
print $self->[ HASH1 ]{ something }, $self->[ HASH2 ]{ something_els
+e };
}
Use Abigail's Inside-out object technique:
package XYZ;
my( %instances );
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = bless \$class, $class;
$instances{ $self }{ hash1 } = { something => 'this' };
$instances{ $self }{ hash2 } = { something_else => 'that' };
return $self;
}
sub method {
my $self = shift;
my( $hash1Ref, $hash2Ref ) = @instances{ $self }{ hash1, hash2 };
print $hashRef1->{ something }, $hashRef2->{ something_else };
}
