Perhaps this is naive, but couldn't something like this be achieved in a
manner similar to how I just implemented it in Ruby? Surely Perl will have
similar capabilities to handle unknown methods.
class Hash
def method_missing(method_name)
str = method.id2name
if str =~ /^\w+$/ then self[str] else super(method_name) end
end
end
h = {"foo" => "bar"}
h.foo # "bar"
h.baz # nil
h.length # 1
