Your response seemed to indicate that you didn't really understand what he meant. "Indirect object syntax" refers to calling methods like so:
my $obj = new Object(); # Indirect Object notation (class method)
my $ret = some_method $obj; # Indirect Object notation (instance metho
+d)
Aha, you're right. Thanks. I assumed that he was referring to the fact that new Business::Ship( shipper => UPS ) actually returns a Business::Ship::UPS object (not a Business::Ship object).
I prefer the indirect notation for constuctors because the alternative is the uglier than a VB script that uses Hungarian Notation, and hit every ugly branch when it fell off the top of the ugly tree. Besides, it hasn't bit me yet (famous last words).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
