OO confusion

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Ok, I'm fully prepared for a 'read the docs you bonehead' response, but I'm stumped :)

Say I have a class Foo, and I say

my $foo = new Foo;
my $foo = new Foo;
[download]

Then, when it goes to destroy $foo, it bitches about DESTROYs and other gripe. In the Camel book there's some stuff about re-blessing, but my eyes glaze over just a tad - can anyone explain?

The only thing I see wrong is your re-my-ing your class. You should't do that. Instead you should use: `my $foo = new Foo; $foo = new Foo;` [download] you should be getting a warning - are you using the -w switch? Also, you should submit the errors that are being generated, as well as what is going on inside a Foo.

You'll have to paste more code. I used the following and it works perfectly (removing the second spurious my, which doesn't work): `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; package Foo; sub new { bless({}, $_[0]); } package main; my $foo = new Foo; $foo = new Foo;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

We need to see the package Foo code. You've likely got something in there that is jumping between objects. -- $you = new YOU; honk() if $you->love(perl)	[reply]
