How to decide - what is the recommended way for the next code fragment?
I have a Moose-based module, where some data is a simple HashRef.
It is possible to write - as a Mooseish HashRef, like:
package Some;
has 'data' => (
isa => 'HashRef',
builder => '_build_href',
init_arg => undef,
lazy => 1,
);
sub _build-href {
my $href;
$href = { a=>'a', b=>'b'}; #some code what builds a href
return $href;
}
vs
sub data {
my $href;
$href = { a=>'a', b=>'b'}; #some code what builds a href
return $href;
}
What is the difference? I'm asking because when calling:
my $obj = Some->new;
my $href = $obj->data;
In both case I get a correct HashRef. So when is it recommended to use a Moose-ish has construction (which is longer) vs a simple data sub?
PS: probably this question is so simple for an average perl programmer, but please, keep in mind, I'm still only learning perl.
