Re: Subs calling themselves

> these two subroutines just seem to be calling each other

The access_token subroutine isn't calling any subroutine. It just accesses the hash referenced by $self and returns the value associated with the access_token key, i.e. it's a standard getter method.

What does request do with the value? It calls the method request on it. It seems confusing, but the access token is probably of a different class than $self, so it's calling a different request method.

Update: Indeed, see LWP::Authen::OAuth2::AccessToken.

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

Thank you choroba - it was the two different methods having the same name that was throwing me! Now to work out why `$self->access_token` is undefined...	[reply] [d/l]
