++ Many thanks. That shines a light on all the grey areas, including (from my earlier post): `"XYZ"->$x("fred")` [download] being exactly equivalent to `$x->("XYZ", "fred")` [download] — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Assuming `$x` is a coderef, then yes, they're exactly equivalent. I don't think you can even detect the difference in the Perl OP tree. But if `$x` is a string (containing a method name, optionally qualified with a package name), then `$thing->$x("fred")` will work if `$thing` is a package name (string) or a blessed object, but won't work otherwise. toby döt ink	[reply] [d/l] [select]
