The answer to this is probably out there somewhere, but I haven't run across it yet, so a pointer to a webpage/tutorial/FAQ/whatever would be fine...
I'm trying to put together an object class (my first OO attempt) for a Curses-like interface to a serial LCD display. I want to have multiple objects that different code can write to (menus, status, etc), and a method to update the display (a la 'refresh' in curses). The problem/question is: how do I have all the different objects in this same class access the object that gets updated? In other words, let's say $main_display is the object that represents what is (or should be) currently on the display, and $menu_display is an object that gets updated with new menu items. When I do $menu_display->refresh, the data in the $menu_display object needs to be transfered to the $main_display object (and comparisons made, and data written to the LCD). I suppose I could have a call like: $main_display->refresh_from_other_object(\$menu_display) (or something like that...I'm still getting used to the syntax), but that seems a waste to have to pass data manually, when the $menu_display object should be able to do it itself.
