The code you posted does not produce that error.

The code you posted fails for a different reason: You are trying to assign a scalar to a method call ($self->some_var="abcd";).

    Hey..yes..that was a typo..i cant copy paste my code here. I had $self->$some_var="abcd";#This was not the problem. 
    package CommonObject;

my $some_var;
#constructor
sub new{
 my $class=shift;
 my $self = {} ;
 bless $self, $class;
 print Dumper($self);
 return $self;

}
1;


package MyObject;
our @ISA = qw( CommonObject );
use strict;
use warnings;

sub new{
 my $class=shift;
 my $testName=shift;
 my $self = CommonObject->new();
$self->$some_var="abcd";
print $self->$some_var;
return $self;
}

1;

#!/usr/bin/perl

use MyObject;

my $obj=MyObject->new("lkj");

      Of course that doesn't work. That's the same as your original code, just with a scalar instead of an array. Goto Re: Data inheritance

    Then why is it called inheritance?? Sorry for the persistent naive questions..

      It's not, it's a called a lexical variable.

    It does, I had use strict and use warnings in MyObject.pm :(

      Even with those. You did not post the code you ran.
