Re^2: Inheritance - parent of parent

Hmm..

Strange that the infinite loop don't occur.., good, but strange.

I must admit that I didn't try the code above myself,, but

copied the important parts from my real script, where it loops infinitly..

My assumptions about the infinite loop are because since the variable $class holds 'CLASS_C', so that calling

$class->SUPER::new();

would be the same as calling

CLASS_C->SUPER::new();

And the 'SUPER' of CLASS_C is CLASS_B, right?

So, shouldn't that result in new() in CLASS_B calling itself?

I've had kind of a good sleep, so now I'm going to look through my code again..

Thanks for the input so far =)

No, `SUPER` is based on `__PACKAGE__`, not on `ref($self)`. Quote perlobj, It is important to note that `SUPER` refers to the superclass(es) of the current package and not to the superclass(es) of the object. This is easy to demonstrate. `{ package Base; sub m { print("Boo!\n"); } } { package Child; our @ISA = 'Base'; bless({}, 'Anything')->SUPER::m(); # Boo! }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
