Hi I have a small piece of code similar to the one below:

#!/usr/bin/perl
package main;
use strict;
use warnings;

my $obj = test2->new();
$obj->get_name;
$obj->get_namer;

package test2;

sub new {
 my $class = shift;
 my $self = { lib => undef};
 bless($self,$class);

 my $lib = test1->new();

 ($self->{lib}) = ($lib->print_name());

 return $self;

}

sub get_name {
  my $self = shift;
  return $self->{lib}->print_name();
}

sub get_namer {
  my $self = shift;
  return $self->{lib}->print_namer();
}

package test1;

sub new {
   my $class = shift;
   my $self = {};
   bless($self,$class);
   return $self;
}

sub print_name {
   my $self = shift;
   print "From test1","\n";
}

sub print_namer {
   my $self = shift;
   print "Here is another namer","\n";
}

The above code is saved into a file called 'll.pl'. When I execute the above code as './ll.pl', I get the following message

From test1
Can't call method "print_name" without a package or object reference a
+t ./ll.pl line 27.

can you please help me understand what I am doing wrong?

Best Regards,
Dayle Kotturi.
