Re: Can't bless

The second parameter to bless is a string, not a bareword. Most often, you don't specify the class name directly, but use the first parameter of the constructor:

sub new {
    my ($class) = @_;
    return bless {}, $class
}

That's because when you inherit from the class, the constructor will work for the new class, as well, without a need to write a new one specifying the subclass.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

It's documented in perlobj to which bless links. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Hi Its has nothing to do with bless though, strict is protecting you from ambiguous code `$ splain < 2 perl -c packtest.pl Bareword "PENDULUM" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at packates +t.pl line 9 (#1) (F) With "strict subs" in use, a bareword is only allowed as a subroutine identifier, in curly brackets or to the left of the "=> +" symbol. Perhaps you need to predeclare a subroutine? packtest.pl had compilation errors (#2) (F) The final summary message when a perl -c fails.` [download] ambiguous code (bareword PENDULUM) `$ perl -le" print bless {}, PENDULUM; " PENDULUM=HASH(0x3f9adc) $ perl -le" sub PENDULUM { 666 } print bless {}, PENDULUM; " 666=HASH(0x3f9adc)` [download] See Ill-Advised Uses of Barewords in modern_perl_2016_a4.pdf page 167	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What they meant is that it's not clear from bless's docs that the second argument should be a string. Keep in mind that Perl does accept unquoted identifiers in a number of locations. Seeking work! You can reach me at ikegami@adaelis.com	[reply]
