[ale] Private members in perl

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (Chris Fowler)]

I'm trying to figure a way to implement private members in perl objects
but all the text I'm reading has me confused

--- Object---


{
package OBJ;
use strict;


sub AUTOLOAD {
        my $self = shift;
        print "AUTOLOAD\n";
}


sub new {
        shift;

        #
        # Make sure the type specified is
        # supported
        my $con = {
                'S' => 1,
        };
        bless $con, 'OBJ';   # Tag object with pkg name
        return $con;                     # Return object
}

}


return 1;
--- Program ----
#!/opt/SAM/perl/bin/perl


use OBJ;

my $o = OBJ->new();
print $o->{'S'} ;


Can someone tell me how to make the 'S' private and not accessible?

Thanks,
Chris
