object orgy

In computer programming, object orgy is a term, common in the Perl programming community, describing a common failure (or 'anti-pattern') in object-oriented design or programming. In an object orgy, objects are insufficiently encapsulated, allowing unrestricted access to their internals, usually leading to unmaintainable complexity.

An object may also make its internal data accessible by passing references to them as arguments to methods or constructors of other classes, resulting in an object orgy.
