Re^2: Modifying/extending a superclass' data

Another choice would be to just copy the MathML::Entities code to your module and modify it there.

Indeed - or I could simply hack the changes I want into M::E itself (which I have done on my workstation, for development purposes).... but that kinda defeats the purpose of having proper Packages <grin />)

I would provide some set of accessor functions to, at least, add entities to %ENTITIES. Then, I would submit the patch back to the author along with some tests. Remember - in OSS, if you want something done, the quickest way is to do it yourself. That's why you have the code. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]
