in reply to what would you like to see in perl5.12?

"Real" and fast lvalue-subs that are able to "see" the right value (for checking), not the crippled implementation as today.

Yes, this is for accessors like $object->foo = "bar";, I grew up with VB and $object->foo("bar";) simply doesn't feel right.

I know it can be done by returning tied hashes, but that is fat, slow and ugly and needs extra work. Thinking about it, why not a new keyword:
package blablabla; sub new { #... } property get foo { return $self->{_foo}; } property set foo { my $foo = shift; $self->{_foo} = $foo; }
