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!
