Ahh, wisdom you seek. And some wisdom different from what you see here I can provide. You have a class Myclass yes?

use strict;
package Myclass;

sub foo { return 1; }

1;

Seeing the folly of your ways, you come to realize that the code must be

use strict;
package Myclass;

sub foo { return 42; }

1;
[download]

Search this program below for the answer

use strict;
use Myclass;

print "Foo is " . &Myclass::foo . "\n";
print "Modify the file and hit enter\n";
<STDIN>;
do 'Myclass.pm';
print "Foo is " . &Myclass::foo . "\n";
[download]

And thus does "do". But note, that if we delete foo, the function remains in the symbol table, and thus stays. A more through approach would clobber the table elements from the package. Class variables are vulnerable as well. And use warnings will warn.

• 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.
