A reference as a Perl5 reference or just as a C pointer or a Parrot PMC? newclass cl, "Foo" # create new "Foo" class - 0 attributes $P0 = new "Foo" # make a new "Foo" instance $P1 = $P0 # both PMCs refer to the same object now $P1."meth"() # same as $P0."meth"() $P2 = clone $P0 # 2 distinct objects now $P3 = new Undef assign $P3, $P0 # same leo
