Hi Monks,

The code in question was there at node my $self is stumped!. I am pasing the code below for your reference.

How do I get the parent method to call the parent second method?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

package person;
sub new
{
    my $class = shift(@_);
    my $self  = { 'name' => 'Alice' };
    bless($self, $class);
    return($self);
}

sub tellName  {
        my($self)=$_[0];
        print "$self->{'name'}.\n";
}

sub introduce {
        my($self)=$_[0];
        print "Hello, I'm ";
        $self->tellName();
}
1;

package child;
our @ISA = qw(person);    # inherits from person
sub new {
    my $class = shift(@_);
    my $self = $class->SUPER::new();
    $self ->{'nickName'} = 'Billy The Kid';
    bless $self, $class;
    return $self;
}

sub tellName  {
        my($self)=$_[0];
        print "$self->{'nickName'}.\n";
}

sub introduce {
        my($self)=$_[0]; print "Hi, I'm ";
        $self->tellName();
        print "Here's my mom: ";
        $self->SUPER::introduce();
}
1;



package main;

my $mom = new person();
$mom->introduce();      # that time it works.

print "\n";

my $son = new child();
$son->introduce();

When the child calls the parent method with $self->Super::firstmethod(), the parent method uses $self->secondmethod(). But the secondmethod() that gets called is the over-ride version, because $self is a reference to to the child object.
