Hence I can create the Food.pm sub_class with essentially two methods - a new and init. hence I can get to that do_food.plx sequence really quicky and offer you: my $dog = Food->new( young => 'bones', senior =>'meat'); my $cat = Food->new( young => 'fish'); print "young dogs should eat: ",$dog->young() , "\n"; print "young cats should eat: ", $cat->young() , "\n"; if ( my $old_cat_food = $cat->senior() ) { print "old cats eat: $old_cat_food \n"; } else { print "there are no old cats...\n - We are all just cool\n"; } your mileage may vary... void where prohibited... ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
