And it's really not encoding any information, it's just clutter that results from Perl's lack of _explicit_ object-oriented support. However, Using the magic of source filters, we can now write it: sub populate { my ($self, $n) = @_; for (1..$n) { push @.organisms, Organism->new(rand($.width), rand($.height)); } } Perl6::Attributes takes the Perl 6 secondary sigil '.' and translates it into a hash access on '$self'. No, it doesn't support other names for your invocant (but it could very easily; I'm just lazy), and no, it doesn't support objects written by crazy people based on array, scalar, or (!) glob references. You still inflect the primary sigil, unlike in Perl 6. See the Perl6::Variables manpage for a way to use Perl 6's uninflected sigils... but don't expect it to work with this module. There's also a nice little "feature" that you get for trading the ability to name your variables the same with different sigils (by the way, you can't do that). Say $self->{foo} is an array ref: @.foo; # the array itself $.foo; # the reference Which means that even if you're using an array referentially, you can usually avoid writing those pesky '@{}'s everywhere. Perl6::Attributes now also translates './method' and './method(args)' to '$self-'method> and '$self-'method(args)>. %prep %setup -q -n %{cpan_name}-%{version} %build %{__perl} Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor %{__make} %{?_smp_mflags} %check %{__make} test %install %perl_make_install %perl_process_packlist %perl_gen_filelist %files -f %{name}.files %defattr(-,root,root,755) %doc README %changelog
