What I am tring to do is the following:
I am writing a perl Moose Class and I want ot have a class attribute that is an Hash and is initialized to default values upon building.
My attempt:
has sweep_prop_configuration => (
is=>'rw',
isa => 'Hash',
reader => 'sweep_prop_configuration',
writer => '_sweep_prop_configuration',
builder => '_build_sweep_prop_configuration',
predicate => 'has_sweep_prop_configuration',
);
sub _build_sweep_prop_configuration {
my $self = shift;
my %hash;
$hash{point_number}=0;
$hash{number_of_sweep}=0;
$hash{backwards}=-1;
$hash{at_end}=-1;
$hash{at_end_val}=0;
$hash{save_all}=-1;
return %hash;
}
I am new to Moose and perl in general, excuse me if I missed something in the documentation.
Moose doesn't define Hash
as a type (see Moose::Manual::Types).
It defines HashRef
, though. In order to use it, change the builder's last line to
return \%hash
and change the type constraint to
isa => 'HashRef',
It still defines an instance attribute, not a class attribute. To define class attributes, use MooseX::ClassAttribute.
