Re^3: method aliases with goto(&NAME)

in thread method aliases with goto(&NAME)

There are probably instances where you'd want two methods that behave identically in the parent class, but behave differently in the child class. However, given that the title of this thread mentioned "method aliases", I'm assuming the intention is that legacy_method acts as an alias (i.e. behaves identically) for current_method, unless a child class explicitly overrides legacy_method to make it behave differently.

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

I had the impression that `legacy_method` is supposed to be deprecated and that overloading in new children is maybe not intended. Well I don't like speculating about the OPs intention, let's wait what he says... :) Cheers Rolf ( addicted to the Perl Programming Language)	[reply] [d/l]
