Hi, I'm new to perl. After reading perlboot, perltoot, perltooc, etc(find them here) I managed to understand a little bit about OOP in perl. But i have a problem, suppose that i have the main class A: package a; use strict; use warnings; my $var = "default_value"; sub new { my ( $class ) = shift; my $self = {}; bless ($self, $class); return $self; } sub output{ my ($self, $var) = @_; print "$var\n"; } 1; Code (markup): And class B inheriting from class A: package B; use base A; use strict; use warnings; sub output{ my( $self, $var ) = @_; #i want to get access to $var from Parent Class # so this should print 'default_value' print $self->SUPER->{var} . "\n"; } 1; Code (markup): How can i manage to get access to $var from class B. The current code doesn't work. Thanks and sorry for the long post
