Is this the way it is meant to be?

What I wanted to say is:

Is this intended by design?


certainly not ;(


Sorry, seems you got me wrong.


No, I just attempted a bad pun :-)
But that's indeed upseting because I had that limitation under the eyes for a long long time, and just didn't realize how bad it was.

Ok, so it is me who got you wrong. I just was not sure and I did not want to have that dim feeling stay around.

One addition: You probably know but for those who don't: It is Ok to call methods returning lists (hashes too?) from within a package. So if we had a second sub "Test::b" in my original code snippet, that could properly call "a" and get the returned list.

And another but final remark: It seems PerlQt attributes are writable from the package itself but not from inheritors. Read access works fine if preceeding the attribute with an "&". So they are a kind of between private and protected (borrowed from C++). Haven't tried pulic read access. That's another item for a FAQ I guess.

Everthing above true and maybe only true for PerlQt 3.008.

Cheers,
Ole.



perfectly live with this restriction in PerlQt. Only good to know it. It
cost me some hours searching for the problem and turning the lists into
refs of them. Anyway PerlQt has saved me a lot more than this time ;-)



Still,  we'll work on fixing it :)
Greetings,
Germain
