Because I only had one key, I took shortcuts over how I'd implement a more involved object. It's just the implementation, so it can be changed as needed. With a dispatch table, it's pretty obvious that there's a straightforward parallel for any changes you make in your system.
sub STORE { my ($self, $key, $val) = @_; # An inline dispatch table ({ foo => sub { $self->[1] = localtime(); # track last change $self->[0] = $val; $self->_recalculate_bar(); }, # ...any other keys... }->{$key} or sub {croak (ref $self) . " has no $key member"} )->(); } sub FETCH { my ($self, $key, $val) = @_; ({ foo => sub { $self->[2] = localtime(); # track last access return $self->[0]; }, # ...any other keys... }->{$key} or sub {croak (ref $self) . " has no $key member"} )->();
