Should we not be able to use an object that implements 'invoke' as a method of another object? There is some strange behaviour when I try to.
I see what you're saying, and it looks like you want a functor. We can't do exactly what you want in that syntax, because methods are loosely tied to objects in Parrot. Parrot sees 'Func' as a sub, so it wouldn't make any sense to tell the sub it's called by itself. Regardless of what 'find_method' returns, the invocant is $P2 when you use PIR syntax. Here's how to get the effect you want: .sub main :main $P0 = newclass 'Func' $P1 = newclass 'Obj' $P2 = new 'Obj' $P3 = find_method $P2, 'some_method' $P3.$P3() .end The patch has been reverted, though, so that won't work until it's fixed and reapplied. -- Alek Storm
