in thread Answer: How do I call an overridden method?

SUPER is good, as btrott points out. You can also get more control, if you need it.
$o = Foo::Bar::Baz->new(); $o->blat($x); # Foo::Bar::Baz::blat? $o->SUPER::blat($x); # Foo::Bar::blat? Foo::Bar::blat($o, $x); Foo::blat($o, $x);
This makes your code more dependent on the exact inheritance details of Foo::Bar::Baz, which is not a good thing if someone decides to change things around a little bit. If you find yourself doing this, take a step back and ask yourself if there is a better way.
