in thread Nested Classes

Here's a slightly more verbose version of the same thing:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; package foo; sub new{ my $m = {}; bless $m; return $m;} package bar; sub new{ my $b = {}; bless $b; return $b;} sub corny { return 'sparky'; } package main; my $s = foo->new(); my $r = bar->new(); $s->{'spark'} = \&bar::corny; print $s->{'spark'}(); 1;
This essentially calls a method out of a different package. I added the class stuff as window dressing. If you are looking to call and actual method from an instantiated object, just call a function and use a reference to the object as a parameter (called delegation in certain circles) to call the function. Lastly, use inheritance. If these things don't help, I am not sure what you are attempting to accomplish.

    The OP asked how to
    1. create an object,
    2. bless,
    3. and then bind subroutines to it (written within another objects method) as methods.

    That's what I tried to show. Sure it's better to define classes statically. But as I understood the OP, he wanted to do this on the fly
