Good point. I'm afraid I entirely failed to notice that the hash being assigned here was not part of the $self hash. I very rarely have class data other than constants. I agree, there can be very useful purposes for such an assignment of a class variable. So yes, that would definitely be one of the tasks to be taken care of in the destructor.
