This syntax works in a method as you said:

  self."$elem"()

Again I was getting errors that masked the correctness of that
syntax--incomplete debugging!

Thanks all.

Fair enough--my fingers fumbled a few important things.  I'll correct
and recheck;

Thanks, Moritz (and Bruce).

should be 'has $.age is rw'. The "is" indicates a trait (not an
assignment).

Etiher method a needs to be inside class foo, or it needs to be a
subroutine, and refer to foo instead of self here.

A method outside a class doesn't ususally make sense, which is why you
get this message:

Other potential difficulties:
Useless declaration of a has-scoped method in mainline (did you mean
'my method a'?)

the indirect method call syntax is the right approach, you just got too
many other details wrong to make it work.

Re: Re-installation of Perl 6 (Rakudo Star) via rakudobrew on Linux

2015-03-25 Thread Steve Mynott
Although it usually works I've seen some oddities (maybe as minor as
one test spec test failure)  recently with rakudobrew where it doesn't
cleanly rebuild (i assume there are traces of a previous build
confusing it).

The easiest thing is to delete everything and start again.

—snip—

use v6;
our %attrs = (
   age => 1,
   # wgt => 2, # Need to handle "No such method" before uncommenting.
);
class foo {
   # has $.age = rw;
   has $.age;

   method all_attrs {
   my @ordered_attrs = %attrs.sort({ + .value }).map({ .key });
   for @ordered_attrs -> $k {
   my $aval = self."$k"();  # supposed to work for a method name
   say "attr { $k } has value '{ $aval }'";
   }
   }

}

my $f = foo.new( age => 30 );
# say $f.perl;
$f.all_attrs();

My modified version of your code (above) works for me. Output is:
   attr age has value '30'

Note that your line "has $.age = rw" was invalid syntax,
and your "a" method was *outside* your original "foo" class.

How to get indirect access to a class attribute?

2015-03-25 Thread Tom Browder
Given a class like:

our %attrs = (age=>1,wgt=>2);
class foo { has $.age = rw;}

method a {
  for %attrs.kv -> $k, $v {
 my $aval = self."$k"();  # supposed to work for a method name
 say "attr { $k } has value '{ $aval }'";
  }
}

Question:

1. How can I indirectly refer to the attributes in a method?  The
above doesn't work (with or without the '()').

2. Do I have to write a custom accessor to do so?

Thanks.

Best regards,

-Tom
