Wrong, that is, unless there is a print() method in the class to which the object belongs. For instance, $self's class may inherit from IO::File. For those seeking OO bliss, do check out Damian Conway's _Object Oriented Perl_ or any of the several OO tutorials that come with the standard perl docs. For the record, I always attempt to use accessor methods outside the class definition (yes, I find I have to cheat sometimes). Even in child class, I use accessors. The more people you expect to be using your code, the more important object hygene becomes. -- ---------------- Joe Johnston -- http://taskboy.com Software Consultant: Web - Database - Perl _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
