Private Properties for Objects	Can't Post

I want to make private properties for objects using the following code.

sub SetProperty1 {
my ($self,$value)=@_;
$self =~ m/(0x(\w|\d){6}(\w|\d))/;
$property1{$1}=$value;
}

My question is...will the hex value for an object reference ever change.
(i.e. during garbage collection)

Yes, via threads. The technique you are attempting is called inside-out objects. They are not commonly used because of this. If you want to do objects in Perl, consider installing Moose. You may also want the Moose eXtensions at MooseX.

PS: you can read about inside-out objects on CPAN.

I love Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your thingy.

Perl documentation is available at perldoc.perl.org. The list of standard modules and pragmatics is available in perlmodlib.

Get Markup Help. Please note the markup tag of "code".
