This is almost as evil as global variables; just a bit less so.

The real trouble with this OO route -- besides that it derives no true benefit from the costs of the OO -- is the clumsy syntax.

Somewhere in your OO-football wrapped global, there is an array that needs to be iterated and its contents accessed: 

my $o = OO::Module->new;

for my $i ( 0 .. $o->yyy->highest_index ) {
    $o->yyy->set_element( $i, $o->yyy->get_element( $i ) + 1 );
}

For contrast, compare with:

our @yyy;
*yyy = \@{ $main::lglobal{ yyy } };

++$yyy[ $_ ] for 0 .. $#yyy

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. -- The problem with OO; is not the OO, but ooholes that use it.

The start of some sanity?
