in thread Specifying the class of an object in the declaration

Hi

Thanks for the rapid reply.

It's not so much TheSchwartz that I'm confused about, though I've never used it before, but rather that particular construct: my CLASSNAME $variable = something. I've never seen it before, and nor have my cow-orkers.

It's not particularly stopping me from doing anything, I just don't like not understanding something ;-)

    Ah. Well, according to the documentation of my:

    my TYPE expression

    The exact semantics and interface of TYPE and ATTRS are still evolving. TYPE is currently bound to the use of fields pragma, and attributes are handled using the attributes pragma, or starting from Perl 5.8.0 also via the Attribute::Handlers module. See Private Variables via my() in perlsub for details, and fields, attributes, and Attribute::Handlers.

      Hi

      Thanks, that was what I was missing ;-)
