Re^2: How to properly go through a WWW::Mechanize::Link object?

First off, thank you. But this opens something that I've missed in Perl.

What I was doing was:

print "name\t\t$link->name\n";

Which gave me:

name WWW::Mechanize::Link=ARRAY(0x55bbd8e7d100)->name

So what am I not understanding? Why does Perl not interpret this?

Method calls don't interpolate. Nor do subroutine calls or indeed anything other than simple variables and their dereferences. See the FAQ: How do I expand function calls in a string? for alternatives and workarounds. Update: and also How can I expand variables in text strings? for good measure.	[reply]
