yes, i know this; i have a background in python, and the private attribute thingy is also not available in the language (unless for attributes prefixed by __, for which there are some mangling done by the interpreter to hide them). > But if that's what you want, blessing a closure is probably > more secure than most other languages. Be aware though, that if someone > starts wielding the B modules, you have no chance. thanks for the tip. the reason i am looking for "real" private attributes in the first place because i need to give objects (which are usually blessed hashrefs) to untrusted code. i certainly do not wish the code messing with attribute values (and re-blessing them, but 'bless' can be overriden, so i think this one's not a problem). -- dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
