in thread Problem with around BUILDARGS

Hello,
I tried just now to use this solution in a real case...

But It works, until you don't have to call the proprieties in your code.

If you try to call $self->serverLocation anyway in your code you have that error: 

Can't use string ("nameOfTheClass") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" 
+in use at accessor serverLocation defined at /home/saintex/workspace/
+perl_scripts/navigator/classes/Browser/Selenium2.pm

Any help? Thank you

    I would need to see more code, but I suspect that something inside the 'serverLocation' accessor is trying to use the "nameOfTheClass" as if it was an object instance. Show some more context and perhaps I can help.

      Hello, I'm trying to use the accessor as string.

      That is the method in my class: 

      sub startServer {
    my $self = shift;
    
    
    defined(my $pid=fork) or die "Cannot fork: $!";
    unless ($pid) {
        eval {
            exec 'java -jar '.$self->serverLocation;
        };
        die "Impossibile far partire il server selenium: $@\n;" if ($@
+);
    }
     
     
}

      Thank you for your help.

      I'm interested to solve this problem for knowledge reason, not for production... so I'm not in any hurry.

        Can I see the attribute definition for serverLocation? Or better yet, the entire class.
