Yes you can find out whether an object is blessed more elegantly (tye and merlyn told me): if UNIVERSAL::isa($ref,'can'){

And as for your type finding, this is from perldoc perlobj:

isa(CLASS)
`isa' returns true if its object is blessed into a subclass of `CLASS' `isa' is also exportable and can be called as a sub with two arguments. This allows the ability to check what a reference points to. Example:
if(UNIVERSAL::isa($ref, 'ARRAY')) {...

HTH,

Update: Yeah I screwed up remembering tye's solution. I looked it up (mea culpa):
$ref->can('isa')
Is the beast you are looking for.

Update2: D'oh. I took it for granted that you wanted a ref-check anyway, like if( ref $r ){ if ($r->can('isa')){.... Your UNIVERSAL::can($r, 'isa') sounds really neat. I'm curiously awaiting tye's/ merlyn's response(s).

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
