Thank you sir for the response, I will have a look. I love programming in perl, but Im getting used to the idea of developing class objects and instances in PHP.
class thisclass { } class otherclass extends thisclass { } Object oriented programming is a great way to reuse code.

I am assuming you mean a data structure that is associated with and manipulated with respect to all objects of a particular class (instances). In which case Perl supports this by providing package scoped variables and any method of the package that does not expect to take an object ref as its first parameter. > > You can also go to extremes to encapsulate the data so that only specific methods can act on it, truly making it a "class object", but that is beyond the scope of my post. > > have a look at: > > perldoc perltoot > > In particular the section on "Class Data".... > > http://danconia.org > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
