Re^3: Can't call method on an undefined value?

in thread Can't call method on an undefined value?

However, the important points to note:

strict makes the declaration for $name required, removing that as a possible problem.
Global symbol "$person" requires explicit package name at test.pl line 5. makes it apparent that there's a problem with the declaration of $person.
Once you know there's a problem with the declaration of $person, you look at that line and the line above. You quickly find the missing semi-colon.

Hence, the readily-apparent comment. :-)
