Class::MethodMaker dynamic fields

Mainframe2007 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi I'm trying to make a dynamic class via the Class:MethodMake module:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Data::Dumper;


$m = MyClass->new();
$m->name("theo");
$m->id(1);
exit;


package MyClass;
@fields = qw(id name);
use Class::MethodMaker
        get_set => [ @fields ],
        new => "new";
[download]

But it always results in: Can't locate object method "name" via package "MyClass" at ./myclass.pl line 7.

That's because `use Class::MethodMaker` executed before `@fields = qw(id name)`. See details in perlmod. Just list fields directly in `use` statement: `use Class::MethodMaker get_set => [ qw(id name) ], new => "new";` [download] P.S.: also http://www.effectiveperlprogramming.com/blog/1068	[reply] [d/l] [select]
