Re^2: RFC: DBIx::Library

Hmm I actualy just grabbed that out of perltoot. Is there a better reference than perltoot for this kind of thing? I'd remebered hearing this before (probably from you). I will definitly change the code as that makes it clearer, to be frank I thought that was needed for inheritance in some way and thats why I kept it in.

perltoot is a cargo-cult promulgator. Much better is Damian Conway's book on OO perl. I forget the name. Why would you think it's required for inheritance? Have you studied how method dispatch works in Perl5? Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.	[reply]

A misreading of perltoot is why i thought it was needed. They put two arg form of bless and using ref($class) in the same paragraph saying planing for the future. Definitly my fault there for not reading more accuratly. ___________ Eric Hodges	[reply]
