Need Help??

Yes, I see, and like your custom function. The code had been working previously with an expression eval before I altered it to the FIRST block eval.

Did you notice how I was thrown off by the success nearby of the SECOND block eval which survived all versions:

eval {$pathtool->import("mkpath")}; #OK

which would not then seem right either if similarly translated as ..(though it may be right?)..:

"File::Path"->import("mkpath");#??

Mmm!

cheers

Perl allows barewords or strings (which are basically the same, except that a bareword comes without quotes, hence, "bare") as invocants: `File::Path->import(...)` [download] is the same as: `"File::Path"->import(...)` [download] and `my $pathtool = "File::Path"; $pathtool->import(...)` [download] and all three translate to: `File::Path::import("File::Path",...);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
