Re: Perl OO: switch package context.

I couldn't resist the urge, and wrote Package::Relative. While it makes it's way towards the CPAN, you can download it here.

Here's how it's used:

use Package::Relative;
my $object = (PKG . "Class")->new; # your example
my $object = (PKG . "..::Class")->new; # more interesting

Why the heck did you use overload instead of just exporting PKG(): `PKG("..::Class")->new;` -sam	[reply] [d/l]

I dunno... It's not like I'm going to use this code anyway... I thought that __PACKAGE__ like semantics could be cool ;-) -nuffin zz zZ Z Z #!perl	[reply]
