Sometimes I hate indirect object notation. It looks slick, but there are a few gotchas involved. You can get rid of that first new and it will still work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] trwww]$ perl -MO=Deparse use GD::Graph; $image = new GD::Image->new(401, 201); Ctrl-D $image = 'GD::Image'->new->new(401, 201); - syntax OK The line after Ctrl-D is output by the Deparse module to show how perl interpreted your statement. Your code works, but only by chance.
