Greetings Monks, I have a little difficulty in understanding one statement in which two functions called.

139     my $logviewer = CCI::LogViewer->new(
140         {   request         => $request,
141             start_timestamp => $start_date,
142             end_timestamp   => $end_date,
143             filter_string   => $filter,
144             lgp_object      => 'shortMessage',
145             lgp_subtype     => 'eventEndPoints',
146             limit           => $limit,
147             sid             => $request->get_args()->{'sid'},
148         }
149     );
150     $logviewer->get_log_records()->XML_file();

The statement my $logviewer = CCI::LogViewer->new( creates an object in user-defined package LogViewer.pm which is in CCI folder. This package has several functions of which get_log_records and XML_file are two of them. Now after the execution of first statement my $logviewer will be pointing to LogViewer.pm package. So will $logviewer->get_log_records()->XML_file(); just call both the functions or is there any other scenario I am failing to understand. Your help in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks
