Re: Re: Re: Re: Faking new() method in high-level package

The problem that you're running into is that you're trying to run inheritance the wrong way (and possibly for the wrong reasons).

:) theDamian's "Object Oriented Perl" arrived yesterday from Amazon; I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. I expect I'll understand this more fully after a few chapters.

Looked at another way, if Util needs to be aware of a subclass' implementation of method then you've got the either the class hierarchy, or the class in which this method is declared, wrong... Does that make sense?

Yes! Though I did have to re-read your whole post a few times before I understood.

I'd ++ you more than once if I could on both of your replies; thank you for your clear and understandable explanations. I'm printing this page for my Perl binder.

setenv EXINIT 'set noai ts=2'
