Hey, thanks a lot for the help!

As things have worked out, this is what I've done: 
sub reloadClass { 
 delete_package("Myclass"); 
 do 'Myclass.pl'; 
}

[download]

With this setup, I can change the code of Myclass during runtime without any errors or warnings. I could replace "do 'Myclass.pl'" with the "delete...; require..." type coding.

For those who are curious: for me to get interested in learning a language I need to have a drive or ambition. This usually comes in the form of a personal project and the like. As a 'less then 1 month' perl monkino, I'm aiming in creating a perl MUD server which can be programmed through a client in the server itself. They would be programming the "Myclass.pl" equivalent and restarting it. The equivalent would be, for example, the skill database and interpreter.

But anyway, thank you all for the help!
