Object::InsideOut and $obj->SUPER (fixed)

[glide]

Hi!

I'm trying to create a new class based in a class that use Object::InsideOut. But the new class can't use the Object::InsideOut.

In the child class I do:

sub new {
  my ($class,%args) = @_;
  my $new_object = $class->SUPER::new(%args);
  ....

but, apparently, the new of the base class it's never called.

What I'm missing?

many thanks

execution and code ...

$ perl t2.pl
I'm in the child_class new
my super is class_insideout
id: 1

script code

use strict;

use lib $FindBin::Bin;
use child_class;


my $person = child_class->new(id=>1,name=>'aaa',address=>'bbb') or die
+();

$person->write();

Your child class must

  use Object::InsideOut qw(class_insideout);

instead of

  use base qw(class_insideout);

From the POD:

Sub-classes (child classes) inherit from base classes (parent classes)
by telling Object::InsideOut what the parent class is:

package My::Sub; {
  use Object::InsideOut qw(My::Parent);
  ...
}
<snip>
Object::InsideOut acts as a replacement for the "base" pragma:  It
loads the parent module(s), calls their "->import()" methods, and sets
up the sub-class's @ISA array.  Therefore, you should not "use base ..
+." yourself

I thought that the use of

use Object::InsideOut qw(My::Parent);

was only for classes of the type Object::InsideOut. And I wanted a regular class (eventually hash based). But it works! Thanks.

This is a drawback, imho, of using Object::InsideOut. For example, if you put a class in the cpan, based in the Object::InsideOut, the use of the class it's different from the expected.
