I'm confused ... do you really want to do `print Util::Stuff::aaa1->flag();` [download] or rather `print Util::Stuff::aaa1::flag();` [download] in other words, are you importing moduls or classes ? I understood simple moduls... Does flag() need to know, in which package he was called? Cheers LanX UPDATE: you may want to have a look into perlboot if you don't know the difference... perl isn't a language one can master with try and error hacking ...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

UPDATE: you may want to have a look into perlboot if you don't know the difference... perl isn't a language one can master with try and error hacking ... I stumbled across this only six months later, and I can't help wondering: What language is there better suited to trial-and-error manipulations? Certainly, after consulting the camel books for various basics, I learned a huge amount of what I know by experimenting and finding interesting and unexpected failures.	[reply]

Well, you will learn a "a huge amount ... by experimenting" in all languages! But IMHO all these interwoven huffmancoded syntaxfeatures of Perl can only be masterd by reading the fucking manuals. > What language is there better suited to trial-and-error manipulations? From what I know ... Javascript! (with some exceptions) I don't really master Python, from what I've seen it's very orthogonal. Cheers Rolf	[reply]
