Can I make a list of objects?
Yup, since objects are just scalars e.g
use IO::File;
my @list = map { IO::File->new($_) or die("ack: $!") } @ARGV;
Can an object create another object and pass it to yet another object.
Indeed.
sub Foo::new { bless {}, shift }
sub Foo::get_bar {
return Foo::Bar->new();
}
sub Foo::Bar::new { bless {}, shift }
sub Baz::new {
bless { bar => pop }, shift
}
my $baz = Baz->new( Foo->new()->get_bar() );
print $baz->{bar},$/;
__output__
Foo::Bar=HASH(0x80fbc2c)
A little laboured perhaps, but the above example is basically demonstrating that an object is just a blessed reference, nothing too magical about it.
