Re^3: Parent cannot call Child method

[jellisii2]

Did you, as Eily suggested, use parent qw(Parent); in MyParent::MyChild?

[TorontoJim]

Yes, this is the start of MyChild after reading Eily's post:

package MyParent::MyChild;
use strict;
no strict "refs";
use Carp qw(croak);
use parent qw(MyParent);

my $VERSION = .01;

sub new {
    my ($class) = @_;
    my $self = {};
    bless $self, $class;
    return $self;
}

I can call MyParent::MyChild->new() just fine with this MyChild code, but I had to modify MyParent (remove the return line in new) so that It would compile. But since MyParent::MyChild defines its own new method, MyParent.pm should not even be needed for that call to succeed ...

I'm glad I'm not the only one finding this strange. I think I'll let it sit for a couple days then come back to it fresh.

Thank you for trying it out, at least I know I'm heading in the right-ish direction.
