Laudetur, monks.
I began to learn objects in Perl. In my testscript I create a filehandler object. Note: I know that there are proven and comfortable ways to do it, but this is about practicing.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; {package MyFilehandler; my $fh; sub openForRead { my $class = shift; my $filename = shift; bless \$filename, $class; open (FH, '<', $filename) or die "could not open file: $!"; $fh = \*FH; } sub writeout { my @lines = <$fh>; print @lines; } } my $testfh = MyFilehandler->openForRead("betvek"); $testfh->writeout;
Error message: #Can't locate object method "writeout" via package "IO::File" at fileobj.pl line 25 (line 25 is  $testfh->writeout; Writeout is right there, same package. This must be a very basic error but I'm stuck for hours. Your help is appreciated.
