Hi,
I'm in my 50's and new to Perl, and I love it! Wish I discovered it
years ago :-(
Slowly I'm learning bits an pieces but find myself getting confused at
times. I have that situation today.
I've looked at this:
sub encrypt {
my $self = shift;
my $xx = $$self;
#.. cut stuff I do understand
return $self->SUPER::encrypt();
}
Could someone help me with the Perl to English here?
I get that $self is shifting the arguement.
I think I get that $xx is a reference to $self?
I don't get at all: return $self->SUPER::encrypt();
Is this assigning the $self to the results of a call to a class called
SUPER's method encrypt?
