Uh, yeah, I knew about SUPER. But to call a method of Parent, I'd have to call it on an instance of Child, which I don't have yet because that's what I'm trying to create. Please explain.	[reply]

You only need an invocant, not a blessed invocant. You can call `SUPER` on `$class`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
