That is a much better way to use closures. Rather than accessing the method through, $obj->{'key'}->(), it makes more sense to do it the way you've posted. Thanks. Interesting comment that one, about closures being hard to debug. In a big application, data hiding can come at a cost.

How often do you guys use closures? I mean, there are certain obvious places where closures can help like callbacks. I've never used closures. Never felt the need to. But citing from your experience, are there any other places where using closures is a good idea?
