I'm trying to write some modules that use Net::EasyTCP. There is a parent class that gets extended by several subclasses. The problem I'm running in to is with this code from EasyTCP: 
    $server->setcallback(
        data       => \&gotdata,
        connect    => \&connected,
        disconnect => \&disconnected,
    ) || die "Error setting callbacks: $@\n";

Before I used the OO-approach, I had no problem with this, but now I can't figure out how to do coderefs for OO versions of &gotdata, &connected, and &disconnected. The below is what I'd like to do, though, obviously the syntax is wrong. Is this do-able? 
package ParentClass;
# [...]
sub init_server {
    my $self = shift;
    # [...]
    $self->{'server'}->setcallback(
        data       => \&gotdata,  # this coderef is wrong
        connect    => \&connected, # and this
        disconnect => \&disconnected, # this too
    ) || die "Error setting callbacks: $@\n";
    # [...]
}
sub gotdata {
    my $self = shift;
    # [...]
}


package ChildClass;
use ParentClass;
@ISA = qw(ParentClass);
sub gotdata {
    my $self = shift;
    # [...]
}
