Hi folks,
I've got one question:
test1.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use A;
my $test = A::B->new(test => 1);
A.pm:
package A;
sub B{
print "A::B called with args <@_>\n";
shift;
return A::B->new(@_);
}
package A::B;
sub new{
print "A::B::new called with args: <@_>\n";
return bless {}, shift;
}
1
result:
A::B called with args <>
A::B::new called with args: <A::B>
A::B::new called with args: <A::B=HASH(0x23602c) test 1>
Attempt to bless into a reference at A.pm line 14.
test2.pl:
require A;
my $test = A::B->new(test => 1);
result:
A::B::new called with args: <A::B test 1>
I've search several docs, but haven't found anything that would explain why "use" and a "require" in a BEGIN block have a different behaviour than "require" or a "use"(in a string eval). Why is in one case the subroutine B called (when A is loaded in compile time) and in the other case the subroutine "new" of package A::B is called (when A is loaded in run time)?
Cheers,
Renee

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
