Hello,

I would like some help with the following issue. I have code with creates a new object (object->new) and wish to use it a sub. This works fine with the passing of the object as reference. However, when I want to pass the object to another function, I fail to get the reference across correctly. What am I doing wrong?

main...
$object->new;
func1($object);
func2($object);

sub func1 (\$)
{ my $object=shift;
  $object->doSomething;
}

sub func2 (\$)
{ my $object=shift;
  $object->doSomethingElse;
  func1 ($object);
}

Probably the call fo func1 in func2 has the variable added incorrectly, but I'm unable to find the solution for this. I can't believe this isn't possible in perl, so I must be at fault.

BTW awaiting the email for activating my account T_I I'm posting this anonymously.
