Re: Re: $functions xor $methods

Only problem is that it requires a hardcoded 'parent' value (unless theres some way to return that?)

sub AUTOLOAD
{
  if(defined &{__PARENT__::$AUTOLOAD})
  {
    goto &{__PARENT__::$AUTOLOAD}
  }
}

(note i left out the part about getting the right value in $AUTOLOAD, chopping out the package and stuff)

something like this seems to work and doesn't require hardcoded names. it just grabs the first parent method (in @ISA order) it finds: `sub AUTOLOAD { no strict; my $METHOD; ($METHOD = $AUTOLOAD) =~ s/.*:://; foreach my $PARENT (@ISA) { if(defined &{$PARENT.'::'.$METHOD}) { goto &{$PARENT.'::'.$METHOD} } } }` [download] either this, or use Damian's NEXT module. cheers, Aldo King of Laziness, Wizard of Impatience, Lord of Hubris	[reply] [d/l]

SUPER::$AUTOLOAD should work.	[reply]
