Re^2: Inheritance and calling a subclass method *from* a baseclass method...

Thanks Merlyn, that did it! Just one thing, since its being called as a method (with the indirection operator), it passes the classname as the initial parameter...There's no way around that, right?

That's right; that's how you get the invocant in Perl. (As a side note, beware of the indirect constructor call; `my $object = Some::Class->new()` is much more reliable than `my $object = new Some::Class()`. The latter is very sensitive to order of declaration during parsing; best to avoid it where possible.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
