Re^2: Action at a distance

"To avoid getting bit by this…"

BTW, what prevents me from doing something like this?

package Acme;
use parent 'Clone';
…
[download]

And later:

 
my $object = Acme->new;
my $copy = $object->clone;
[download]

> BTW, what prevents me from doing something like this? Nothing. You can always do it explicitly, as long as a `->clone` method is available. But the OP wants this to happen implicitly, when he does `my $copy = $magic_object;` Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the 𐍀𐌴𐍂𐌻 Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l] [select]
