The declaration order is the problem - perl doesn't
know about the locally declared classes in advance - try re-writing to read:
#!/user/bin/perl -w
use strict;
############################
############################
package Animal;
{
sub animalmethod
{
my ($self)=@_;
print "I´m an animal. My name is $self->{Name}. I´m $self->{Age} y
+ears old\n";
}
}
package Horse;
{
our @ISA=("Animal");
sub new
{
my ($class, $name, $age) = @_;
my $ref = {Name=>$name, Age=>$age};
bless($ref, $class);
}
sub present
{
my ($self)=@_;
if($self->isa("Animal"))
{
print "I'm an animal.\n";
}
else
{
print "I'm not an animal.\n";
}
}
}
package main;
my $horse1 = Horse->new("George the Horse", 12);
$horse1->present();
$horse1->animalmethod();
Doing so, then running the script gives
$ perl tst.pl
I'm an animal.
I´m an animal. My name is George the Horse. I´m 12 years old
as expected.
A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
