wow, how silly my mistake was. I was forgetting to put in the package main; at the end of the "module". I guess I was thinking the 1; would automagically put me back in main, but I don't know why...
I agree that the OO syntax is cleaner and wanted to use it. Both OO and non suffered from my oversight, though. anyway, here's what I am going with:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
package try;
sub new {
my $self = {};
$self->{SQL} = 'select name from v$database;';
bless $self, 'try';
return $self;
}
package main;
my $getit = try->new;
system("echo \'$getit->{SQL}\' | sqlplus -s system/manager");

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).
