Re: Indirect Object Syntax

I've only ever seen it for the defacto construction of an "object". But using it like a keyword gives the impression that new is a keyword. Then you start giving people the impression that Perl is OOP. Then all of a a sudden you get an influx of JAVA^tm programmers. THEN you get people actually trying to make Perl act like JAVA^tm, and well... I don't think I need to say more. xD

`print FH LIST` is indirect object syntax. Look into the linked class, try `FH->print(LIST)` as alternative. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery} Updated Misread reply / erroneously duplicated when editing	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`print` uses indirect object syntax if you use it in the `print FH "Hello"` form.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
