Assuming that Perl had perfect object-oriented mechanisms (however anyone wishes to define "perfect"), and in practice no one used hashes for objects, would you find no benefit for having readonly/clamped hashes? I think the ability to clamp a hash, and to make one readonly, would be valuable in and of itself. JeffreyThread Previous | Thread Next
