perlquestion jepri So I sat down to see if I could do some prototype style programming in parrot (my goal was to see if I could implement a prototype-style system in PIR). It didn't go well. <P> At first I thought to simply subvert the classes and use them as objects, but there are no class methods, so that was out. Then I thought I might try to mess with the metaclass, which does appear to have "class methods", but when I cloned it I couldn't seem to make one the parent of the other.<P> So it seems I'm left with writing my own prototype PMCs (ouch), writing some complex objects to proxy calls, or throwing the whole lot away and doing it all with closures. I might have missed a trick, but PDD15 gets prototypes slightly wrong*, so I suspect there really is no good way to do it right now.<P> Does anyone have some hot ideas on how to arrange inheritance between objects in parrot? Or to give classes methods?<P> * It states that prototype systems have no classes, but skips over the fact they still have inheritance. A better way to put it might be that prototype systems don't have <i>objects</i>. <P> (Edit) References:<br> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming">Prototypes explained</a><br> <a href="http://www.parrotcode.org/docs/pdd/pdd15_objects.html">PDD15</a><br> <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~teverett/Class-Prototyped-1.11/lib/Class/Prototyped.pm">Prototypes in Perl5</a>  <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-31548"> <p>___________________<BR> Jeremy<BR> I didn't believe in evil until I dated it. </div></div>
