Re: TrAdEz meets with God

Q: What is your current position on my $class=ref($self) || $self;

Q: What is your current position on type checking in subroutines? Ie, is ref($obj) eq 'TYPE' correct or not? What about Scalar::Util::reftype() and or UNIVERSAL::isa() or UNIVERSAL::can()?

Q: Is Inheritance really useful in perl or is containment an easier strategy?

Q: Do you think AUTOLOAD is a viable strategy for dynamic accessor generation in production enviornments?

Well real quick, AUTOLOAD is a brief section in his live presentation that you can view from typing perldoc perltoot and perltooc. The way he uses it, it definately enhances efficiency.

If you're eventually going to install all of the autoloaded methods anyways, it is better to install all of them up front when you load your module (by assigning to the typeglob if need be) rather than lazily installing them later (throwing away the method cache every time you do it). Furthermore using AUTOLOAD does not play well with UNIVERSAL::can or multiple inheritance.	[reply]
