Hello,
I'm having a seriously good time porting Maypole to Perl 6. If you
still have reservations about how Perl 6 is going to be to program in,
I urge you to try programming in it.
Now, commercial over, I have some questions.
What's the syntax for declaring inherited anonymous classes, and
then adding methods to them?
I've realised that anonymous classes are an excellent solution to
subclassing *related* classes - for instance, you have a Foo class which
creates Foo::Request and Foo::Response objects, and when you subclass
Foo, you may want to specialise things in Foo::Request and Foo::Response
as well. So instead you go:
class Foo {
has Class $.request_class is rw;
method BUILD {
$.request_class = class is Foo::Request; # Or whatever
}
}
And then you have a request class that is a singleton class to each
Foo instantiation, which can be specialized however your particular
Foo subclass needs.
