A callback is a reference to a function. If you put a method call where a callback is needed, it won't work as expected.
# The first one is wrong. It adds a reference to an subroutine named f
+or the return value of $ship->move (or \&1)
# because print returns 1 when it is successful.
$app->add_move_handler ( \&{$ship->move} );
$app->add_move_handler ( sub { $ship->move( @_ ) } );
Try this to verify that:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Deparse = 1;
use Mob;
my $ship = Mob->new();
my $first = \&{$ship->move};
print "first: ", Dumper( $first );
my $second = sub { $ship->move( @_ ) };
print "second: ", Dumper( $second );
# &$first(); # Uncomment to see the error 'Undefined subroutine &main:
+:1 called at ./test.pl line 17.'
&$second( 1, 2 );

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
