ObjectInstanceName.Method(param1, param2,...); I would not try to extrapolate Perl hacks to any language with true class definition capabilities. It wpould be the equivalent of tinkering with a brand-new Lexus to give it the look and feel of a '62 Falcon. Generally, high-end OO languages will provide features to allow for actual class definitions. In C++, only declarations [function signatures] are required within the class for functions. In Java, any class functions must be fully defined within the body of the class definition. I much prefer the C++ approach, as it provides a greater modularity, seperating interface [declarations and function signatures] from implementation code. Implementations can be freely interchangeable, as long as the fulfill the interface "contract" contained in the functions signature. When in Rome ... I don't mean to put down Perl OO. It obviously works for those who use it. I just think that, if you are going to start doing OO in other, better-equipped languages, you should start fresh.
