I am trying to write a function for a result set that will be available
like an accessor...
Here is the scenario and goal:
I have a object of which there are two columns in the table, full_name
and alias.
I want to use $obj->name to access the name for which there would be
logic saying return full_name unless alias has a value, then return alias.
What is the best way to go about doing this? Am I on the right track?
Your class is just a perl class, nothing fancy. So just create:
sub name
{
my ($self) = @_;
.. check $self->full_name || $self->alias as appropriate, and return ..
}
