in thread Support for attributes:get in Attribute::Handlers?

shmem++ for this, although this is basically hand-rolling the support, without any help from Attribute::Handlers. It is also rather intrusive, in that you have to amend the original attribute handlers, which could be a problem if those are located in someone else's modules.

I suppose this is how it is with attributes...

    Thank you. - yes, this is hand-rolling, a workaround, and IMHO Attribute::Handlers should shoehorn FETCH_<type>_ATTRIBUTES methods into the caller's namespace, if not already there yet. Best thing to do would be patching Attribute::Handlers, but since I haven't done much with attributes yet, and haven' got (yet) a full understanding neither of what's going on inside Attribute::Handlers nor why it is written as it is; and since the POD states

    BUGS
    There are undoubtedly serious bugs lurking somewhere in code this funky :-) Bug reports and other feedback are most welcome.

    it is quite easy for me to abstain from adding bugs - and patching code of TheDamian's make is a terrible thing to do... ;-)

    You could send TheDamian "other feedback", though.
