in thread Where subroutine attributes will be used?

My advice is to avoid them in almost all circumstances.

I was reading Ovid's article on Test::Class just now, and noticed that Test::Class does use subroutine attributes rather extensively.

I'd appreciate if you could comment on that. Is Test::Class the exception in "almost"? Or do you and the author of Test::Class simply disagree on the usefulness of attributes?


All dogma is stupid.

    I use Test::Class. The sub attributes it uses are relatively simple (nothing too perl), which is good because it makes them harder to screw up. However, I don't find them an improvement over a simple config data structure.
