Hi, I'm using Class::Accessor, it provides a method ->mk_accessors
(which ironically creates setters and getters for your class). Anyway,
I think typically you'd invoke this from the class, but you can do it
from the code that instatiates the class.
Like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use 5.006;
use strict;
use warnings;
package SomeClass;
use base qw/Class::Accessor/;
package main;
SomeClass->mk_accessors(qw/cache/);
my $o = SomeClass->new;
$o->cache("data");
print $o->cache,"\n";
My question is: does creating the accessors from outside the class
violate OO principles, or is acceptable since the functionality is provided?
Thanks
Jay
