Hello All,

I'm trying to figure out a good way to do this in Perl.

Let's say I have an OO module, Widget and I have another, Widget::CheckBox. Widget::CheckBox is-a Widget - it inherits many of the things from Widget via the @ISA() array. How do I work with Widget::CheckBox from inside the Widget Object?

Do I just make a new instance of Widget::Checkbox within Widget? That sounds sort of wasteful. It seems I should be a ble to pass a reference to my Widget self, directly to Widget::Checkbox and have Widget::Checkbox see if it gets passed something like that. Basically, it would seem I want to do *both* of these things: 

 
use Widget; 
my $w = new Widget; 
return $w->widgets->checkbox; 

# --- or --

use Widget::Checkbox; 
my $wc = Widget::Checkbox; 
print $wc->checkbox;

Am I making sense? :)

I'm guess I'm not clear on working with Perl while using a, "Has A" relationship;
