Re: Re: importing from variable packages

Excellent. Thanks. So how come that works, and the indirect object style doesn't? My tiny brain hurts.

From my quick testing, these two yield the same results: `import $pack 'hi'; $pack->import( 'hi' );` [download] with each of them only producing the error you quoted when $pack is a reference and is not blessed. I don't have a ton of versions of Perl handy and these results were with Perl 5.6.0. Using Perl 5.004_01, I got results too weird to mention. So I suspect this is a Perl 5.005 bug you are experiencing. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l]
