abuse of import (Score:1)

by perrin (4270)

Class::Accessor has the advantage that it doesn't abuse import() to do something other than importing just to get a more compact syntax.

  To be clear, the abuse in import is the @ISA manipulation.
  
  Otherwise, the import is passed a list of methods and Object::Tiny creates them in the caller's namespace. That they happen to be created on the fly instead of mapped to subroutines defined in Object::Tiny doesn't really matter, in my opinion.
