Well, in principle, yes. A method is just a function that expects as its first argument a class name (package) or object (blessed reference). Person::new() is the function that both the -C<Person-E<gt>new()> method and the C<Employee-E<gt>new()> method end +C<< Person->new() >> method and the C<< Employee->new() >> method end up calling. Understand that while a method call looks a lot like a function call, they aren't really quite the same, and if you treat them as the same, you'll very soon be left with nothing but broken programs. |
