Re: Re: How do I do it without a temporary variable?

Just to be really perverse ( and firmly in the "My eyes! my eyes! Aaaugh!" department), is there a way to do this using indirect OO syntax? I tried a couple of approaches, the closest I can get is:

print data { $obj2->object };

`print data { $obj2->object };` That doesn't even work. The `print` will break it. `print STDOUT data { $ob2->object };` would though. I'm not sure how or even whether it is possible to get the `ob3->name` portion to be used as the method in indirect syntax though. I played with it a bit and the closest I could come to it required an eval. :-) I couldn't get it to work with symbolic refs either. Somehow, I think that's a good thing... -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply] [d/l] [select]
