You missed the most important part: the way this class is going to be used.

In general good API design should include many possible use cases. Writing a class is just writing part of an API.

As you've shown it, your class is just a glorified hash, with no reason not to use a hash in the first place. Adding methods that do some actual work might change the situation. But again that depends on how you want to use your class.

Asking your questions without more background information is like asking "is the Ford Fiesta a good car for me?", but not telling what you want to use it for (offroad? crossing a dessert? taking your 6 family members to vacations? Or just some shopping half a mile away?)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
