in thread Link methods to hash values

I just wanted to use a more explicit method name rather than pass a value all the time. I figured it, cannot be that hard right?

Let me take a look at Class:MethodMaker and see if that gives me what I want...

Thanks!

    If you don't want to use something like Class::MethodMaker, it's pretty trivial to do this sort of thing yourself.

    package Foo;

use strict;
use warnings;

foreach my $name(qw(foo bar baz quux narf)) { 
    no strict 'refs';
    *{ 'Foo::get_' . $name } = sub { 
        my $self = shift;
        return $self->{$name};
    };
}

    Constructing the equivelent set_* methods is left as an exercise for the reader. :)

      This looks much easier and cleaner to implement. I am going to put this and see how much I break! :)

        much easier and cleaner would be to use Class::Accessor, as [id://Hue-Bond] suggested.
