DamnDirtyApe,
Or am I missing something?
Not really. You would have to modify it only slightly to allow argument passing. The big difference is that with:

$obj_merged->bark( 'mailman' );
[download]

You get the benefit of not having to remember how many/which objects (which could be of different classes) are in the merged object. It also becomes a heck of a lot easier depending on how many times you want to bark at the moon. This is why I do not think my second example would be desireable to the person asking either.

Keep in mind I am not suggesting a new module for CPAN by any stretch of the imagination - just something to help someone who asked.

Cheers - L~R

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
