Greets,

Following on from the great explanation by LanX here Re: Accessing list of package names in a module, I'm now trying to figure out how to dereference a variable who's name has been previously extracted from a module.

Simply put, given the following variable and it's contents (where Util::Stuff:aaa1 comes from a loaded module):

my $var = 'Util::Stuff::aaa1'
[download]

I wish to get at the 'flag' value which is defined in Util::Stuff:aaa1 as:

package Util::Stuff::aaa1;
sub flag { 10 }
...
[download]

Something akin to:

print $"$var"   # oogly, I know :-)
[download]

ie, "interpolate" the variable to get the actual name before dereferencing.

Possible?
Normal usage of Util::Stuff::aaa1 would be

print Util::Stuff::aaa1->flag ...
[download]

Apologies if I haven't explained myself clearly.

Thanks
Henry
