Why is $restart_before_query a package/class level value instead of

It was mostly a POC to show what I meant with the functionality. I think there
should be a way to turn it off (set it to zero) even though I doubt it will be
used much.
A common idiom is to have a composite getter/setter method for object
properties something like this
sub settingname
{
my ($self, $arg) = @_;
$self->{settingname} = $arg if defined $arg;
return $self->{settingname};
}
Or, if undef is a valid value:
sub settingname
{
my $self = shift;
$self->[settingname} = shift if @_;
return $self->{settingname};
}
Yes, I agree that's better (modulo the bracket typo)
cheers
