Can't locate object method "" via package ""	Can't Post

Hi I badly need help with this problem.

I get the following error when I try to call a method on a perl module I wrote. I have attached both the module and the calling script.

thanks in advance

Paul

Knoxy,

Well, your problem is extremely simple to fix. The problem is that
you did not recognize the MerchantAPI "is an" Exporter. Because you
said:

use MerchantAPI;

you do not need to dereference the methods that it exports. Thus:

MerchantAPI->init();

should be just:

init();

The exported methods are:

init
sendRequest
create_order_html
create_order_intershop_html
create_order_wml install_password
cancel_order ship_order
get_order_status
get_order_details
create_refund
is_merchant_enabled
disable_merchant
check_wait_ship
kill_daemon

Any calls for these methods do not need to be dereferenced using the
schema: MerchantAPI->method.

This is all I have looked at at first blush. Reply to this post if there are other
problems you encounter.

HTH,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

thanks for the quick reply, but I have tried this and it still does not work. When I remove the reference to MerchantAPI and just call the init() method as is I get the following.

Undefined subroutine &main::init called at client.pl line 11.

I am working on an NT4 platform at the minute and was wondering if this would have any effect on it.

thanks again

Paul

Knoxy,

I think I found some of the other errors.

Line 1 of MerchantAPI.pm reads:

package MechantAPI;

It should be:

package MerchantAPI;

Line 13 of client.pl reads:

my @totOrder = create_order_html($pspId,$merchantID,orderNo,$amount,$currency);

It should read:

my @totOrder = create_order_html($pspId,$merchantID,$orderNo,$amount,$currency);

Then, you should be okay. Still do no dereferencing of the MerchantAPI
methods. They are now really imported because of the fix to the
package call in the .pm file.

Let me know if you have any other problems.

Good Luck,
Dennis

Hi,

You should probably remove @EXPORT and do as you did with Package->method() .....@EXPORT can pollute the namespace and can be problematic. If anything use @EXPORT_OK

Just to let you all know: with "use strict" or "use strict 'subs';" Perl doesn't allow barewords... You need to be clear what you mean, so this error is trapped at compile time.
