Hi All,
I have the following piece of code in a larger program.
package Kprocess; sub new { my ($class, $fname) = @_; my $self = { lib => undef }; bless $self, $class; my $lib = Kprocess::Container->new(); my $libfile = Kprocess::File->new($fname); $lib->read($libfile); ($self->{lib}) = ($lib->get_list("library")); return $self; } sub get_value { my ($self, $keyword, $default) = @_; return $self->{lib}->get_value($keyword, $default); }

In the above code, I am confused as to why
return $self->{lib}->get_value($keyword, $default);
works by calling the "get_value" method from the class Kprocess::Container.

Can any one please help me understand?

Thank you.
Mala
