  Or you can use Lexical::Attributes and you can write:

  use Lexical::Attributes;
  
  class MyClass;
  has ($.foo, @.bar, %.baz) is rw;
  sub new {bless \do {my $v} => shift}
  method something {
      # Look, no '$self = shift' needed.
      $self -> whatever ();
      return $.foo + $.bar [1]
  }

    Is Lexical::Attribute more like Perl6 attributes than Perl6::Attributes is?

      I don't know. To be perl6ish was only a minor issue for Lexical::Attributes. And in certain ways, it deviates on purpose (private attributes also use a dot as a secondary sigil - I don't share Larry's opinion that it's important to have a visual difference between private and non-private attributes)

    Thank you for your advice, Abigail.
    
    Yep, Lexical::Attributes seems to be more Perl6-ish and hence even more revolutionary.
    But it also deserves more effort to get used to the syntax in Perl5 modules. :=)
