Again, you have a signature problem. 'sub new($)' says that 'new' will take a single scalar as a parameter; as such, @_ will only ever have one value in it: $usr and $pwd will always be set to null.

Well, there is a prototype problem, but it isn't that $ will force new to only accept one value, but rather that prototypes and OO Perl don't mix. Perl simply ignores prototypes on methods. Also prototypes are broken*, don't use them. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; package foo; sub new ($) { my $class = shift; return bless { @_ }, $class; } package main; my $foo = foo->new(this => 1, that => 2); print "this $foo->{this} and that $foo->{that}\n"; * http://library.n0i.net/programming/perl/articles/fm_prototypes/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
