AUTOLOAD (Score:2)

by pudge (1)

BTW, if it is me, I do:
sub AUTOLOAD { (my $name = $AUTOLOAD) =~ s/^.*::(\w+)$/$1/; return unless $name =~ /^(g?)(?:pos|num|name)$/i; # etc. my $player = $1 ? $goalies[0] : $players[0]; $name = $2; $player && $player->$name; }
Or something like that. You'd need to special case a few things, still.

  You are right. These repetitive functions actually cry for AUTOLOAD. Didn't occur to me by the time I was writing it, maybe because those are functions and not methods.
  
  Games::NHL93 makes excessive use of AUTOLOAD, though. Every attribute and statistic figure is accessed that way which saved me the writing of many boring accessors.
