Well foo. I see it now.
RTFM is always pretty good advice, eh? :} Roger -----Original Message----- From: Roger Hall [mailto:raha...@ualr.edu] Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 10:05 AM To: module-authors@perl.org Subject: Perl Critic and (honest) hash references All, I'm a fan of Class::Std and Dr. Conway's efforts, but I'm bemused by a failing perlcritic test on a new module. I used a hash reference to hold several values to make it easier to dump with YAML, so my code is peppered with code like this: $config->{query} Perlcritic complains that "Private Member Data shouldn't be accessed directly" because "Accessing an objects data directly breaks encapsulation and should be avoided". I get that. Only problem: it's not an object. It's just a hashref. Do I have to redesign the module to get past this syntatical doppelganger? Should I just rip the perlcritic test out of my distribution? Any advice appreciated! Thanks!
