Yes, this is the start of MyChild after reading Eily's post: `package MyParent::MyChild; use strict; no strict "refs"; use Carp qw(croak); use parent qw(MyParent); my $VERSION = .01; sub new { my ($class) = @_; my $self = {}; bless $self, $class; return $self; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I can call `MyParent::MyChild->new()` just fine with this MyChild code, but I had to modify MyParent (remove the return line in new) so that It would compile. But since MyParent::MyChild defines its own new method, MyParent.pm should not even be needed for that call to succeed ...	[reply] [d/l]

I'm glad I'm not the only one finding this strange. I think I'll let it sit for a couple days then come back to it fresh. Thank you for trying it out, at least I know I'm heading in the right-ish direction.	[reply]
