Re^6: Overriding 'static' methods of a perl package

DOH! (mental head slap)

I didn't even think of that. I was so fixated on making 'inheritance' work the way I wanted to, I missed the big picture.

The 'compliation error' was the fact that parent.pm was not installed on the system. Do you consider 5.8.5 'old'?

Thanks for all your help and the excellent suggestion.

Do you consider 5.8.5 'old'? For something released four years ago that's probably an acceptable declaration. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply]

5.10.0 (December 2007) is the latest & greatest. 5.8.8 (January 2006) is the most recent in the 5.8.x branch, but 5.8.9 will be released "before Christmas".	[reply]
