They are mixed! Perl treats types as first-class objects. For functions, types don't need to be treated specially from other arguments as in C++.
Looks like we need a third party ruling on that. Note that the HOW is the meta class object and the WHAT the prototype object. None of these *are* types. This is just like the pope is not God but he is the prime *object* that does Catholic. And of course it is debatable if God does Catholic ;)
OUTER::C is lexical. But it sounds like the explanation you are giving is the same.
But I find it conceptually clearer to bind a namespace ref than calling a magic function. It sort of amounts to the same outcome, though. I will also have to say something about the usefulness of the concept of virtual class. Stay tuned. Regards, TSa. -- "The unavoidable price of reliability is simplicity" -- C.A.R. Hoare
