Re: has it been blessed?

[broquaint]

Try this is you're just checking for the method

if($obj->can("invoke_method")) {
    $obj->invoke_method();
}

wait til 5.8 for the blessed() function or read ehdonhon's node.

or wait til 5.8 for the blessed() function.

Or get it now by installing the module Scalar::Util from CPAN ;-}

If $obj hasn't been blessed at all, that will still fail.

But you can use can in a non-OO way: if (UNIVERSAL::can($obj, 'method'))
