Re: Re: Calling OO-method From A Hash

I'd like to make a small note, namely despite being a symbolic reference (in my book),

   $quiz->$act()
[download]

passes strict without any form of complaint.

use strict;
sub Foo::hello {
    shift; 
    printf "Hello, %s!\n", shift;
}

my $meth = "hello";
my $class = "Foo";
$class->$meth("world");

Method lookup is done at runtime. So, what's wrong with allowing an extra dereference? It does bring up the point that $class->$meth() is not the same as $meth($class). (It is, however, the same as $class->can($meth)->($class). grins) ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety.
