Re^3: A different OO approach

++ That is very nice. I didn't realise that you could use my and \() like that. Learn something new every day!

The only pain is that you have to remember to do:

my @A = \my %Foo;
[download]

not

my @A = \my (%Foo);
[download]

... which could lead to some nasty buggettes if you're not careful.

Odd. I didn't even notice. I'm not sure I understand - I shuffled parens around but there's no difference. This is funny and sort of embarrassing.. what am I missing? Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

A single hash is a special case with \(). From perlref. As a special case, "\(@foo)" returns a list of refer- ences to the contents of @foo, not a reference to @foo itself. Likewise for %foo, except that the key refer- ences are to copies (since the keys are just strings rather than full-fledged scalars). Annoying eh?	[reply]
