Re: Re: AUTOLOAD question

I guess I'm not a 'good little OO programmer' because these libraries are function-oriented rather than object-oriented, so iow I have no $object to use. btw, I can't seem to find any documentation on can()...Michael

Even if you're not using an object system, you can still make use of OO concepts. `can()` is part of the UNIVERSAL class, which is the base for all objects in Perl. Even though you're not using the object system, you can still call it via `PackageName->can('method')`. ---- I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident. -- Schemer Note: All code is untested, unless otherwise stated	[reply] [d/l] [select]

can() is exactly what I needed. Cool stuff. Thanks again.	[reply]
