Using the $obj->$meth() syntax is the ONLY way, I've ever gotten this to work. I'm not sure of a manpage, but the syntax is outlined on page 254 of the Camel under Symbolic References.
Cheers,
Marty

Subject: SPUG: Choosing an object's method at runtime
I'm feeling particularly dense today. I want to choose an object's
method at run time:
$object = new Some_Class;
$method = 'stop';
But then
$object->$method;
gets a syntax error, whereas
$object->$method();
seems not to.
Does anyone know which man page covers this? I'm clueless. I need more
sleep. --Sandy
