Re: Can't call method "args" without a package or object reference

When Perl sees

args$1
[download]

it interprets that as:

args($1)
[download]

that is, a function call. You want to have args$1 as a string and to use it as a hash lookup. This means you have to quote it:

"args$1"
[download]

it interprets that as: `args($1)` [download] I think it's rather seeing it as `args $1` (indirect method call, like in `args SomePkgOrObj`). With `args($1)`, it should complain `Undefined subroutine &main::args called at...` </nitpick>	[reply] [d/l] [select]
