I'm using MethodMaker for an application (a log analyzer). I'm very happy with it; it saves a lot of coding of standard get/set methods.

It also allows for get/set methods with arrays and lists of objects, among other things. I'm sticking to MethodMakers lists and scalars so far, but you can use the scalar attribute to store an object, so that you can do:

$foo = $obj->stored_obj_slot->stored_obj_method;

without resorting to the get/set methods explicitly made for objects in MethodMaker.

MethodMaker is one of those modules which you just can't unzip and drop in perl's library; it needs to be installed.

Maybe you already know how to do these things, if not, I've made a guide here for Linux and NT. (Skip the three first paragraphs in Swedish, they just say that the rest is in English :-).
