I might be off topic, but, wouldn't that probably lead to more obscuring of data which might be a good thing in OOP concept of closures-mediated security?

Prototype checking has been disabled in both the following examples...

my $coderef = sub {shift;}; my $val=$coderef->("Hello from down under"); sub doit{ print shift, $/; } &doit($val);
or another more succinct way of achieving the same
my $coderef = sub {shift;}; sub doit{ print shift, $/; } &doit($coderef->("Hello from down under"));
Update: Added the following code demonstration to clarify what I mean:

suppose I don't want the constructor to be directly modified from outside the package namespace of a class, so I return a reference to a closure from the constructor which can be indirectly accessed via an instance method of the class.

#Closured.pm #!/usr/local/bin/perl -cw use strict; use warnings; package Closured; sub new{ our $self; my $closure = sub { shift; if(@_){ $self = shift; } return $self; }; bless $closure; return $closure; #returning a codeRef instead } sub name{ &{$_[0]}; } 1;
#using the Closured class... use strict; use warnings; use Closured; my $object = Closured->new("Hisham"); #try to feed a constructor direc +tly. print $object,$/; #the constructor retruns a code ref. print $object->name("BioHisham"), "\n"; #Feed via an instance method
#Output Closured=CODE(0x18449ac) BioHisham
