Hi guys, could you help me on that one : I'm using two classes, one derived from the other one. My code looks like this :

* Super class (called "A") contains:

sub Schedule {
        my ($self) = @_;

        $self->addTab(\&WatchLog);
        $self->addTab(\&SendEmail);
}

sub WatchLog {
...
}

sub SendEmail {
...
}

sub addTab {
...
}

sub go {
        my ($self) = @_;

        foreach my $code (@{$self->{CODETAB}}){
               &{$code}($self))
        }
}

* The derived class (called "B") contains :

use base A ....

sub Schedule {
        my ($self) = @_;

        $self->addTab(\&AddLocalTime);
        $self->addTab(\&WatchLog);#This method is defined in the paren
+t class
        $self->addTab(\&SendEmail); #Same here
}

sub AddLocalTime {
}

If I create an instance of B in a script and call $b->Schedule I get an "undefined subroutine" error for the two references corresponding to the parent's methods.

I don't know how to get a reference to a parent's method (A) from the derived class (B). One hinted me to use the can method.

More over, I have been told that using references to dynamically call methods was not the best approach. Do you have an idea about how I could do the same code while being more respectful of the object structure ?

My final aim being that the script having the B instance is able to modify the Schedule by removing, inserting, adding method calls into the Scheduler via various addTab,delTab .... methods.

Thanks

** UPDATED ** The solution which consist in calling the "can" method works !
