different versions of objects

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/04/06]

Slightly odd question this ...

I have various objects and all these objects have versions. What I want 
to be able to do is 

	$package = Package->new($name);           # latest version
	$package = Package->new($name, $version); # gets $version

	$package->version();                      # returns $version
	$package->version($new_version);          # changes to $new_version

I suspect what the best thing to do is make Package have an id and a 
name and has_many Package::Version. Package.pm will then have an 
AUTOLOAD which forwards any method calls not covered in Package.pm 
(name, version) to $self->{_current_version}->$method or something 
similar.

Does that sound sane?

Simon
