You could add a attribute initialization method in the parent package and have the Some::Package::Sub constructor call it along with the parent constructor e.g
## in Some::Package sub _init_attribs { %$fields = %{+pop}; } ## in Some::Package::Sub my %fields = map { $_ => 1 } qw( field_a anotherone ); sub new { my $self = shift; $self->_init_attibs(\%fields); $self->SUPER::new(@_); }
So you can still use the %fields lexical and Some::Package's constructor. How's that?
