Create a dynamic Object	Can't Post

I'm trying to create an object dynamically using a string as the object type. It works for me with a simple example:

my $string = "Employee";

my $objct = new {$string}("First", "Last", 12345);

Employee is a derived class of a Person class. However, with my real code I get an error: Compilation failed in require at studyMngr.pm line 7. The line triggering it is:

my $nextStepbjct = new {$nextProcessStep}("name");

What's the difference between the two ways of using a dynamic object is beyond me.
I'm on a deadline with this. Help....

Probably different strictness?

I bet you don't get only "Compilation failed", but also a more meaningful error message - do you?

Also, please post a minimal version of the program which still shows the error.

The full error message is given below.

The code is attached as a tar file. If you run:

perl ChIPSeqPipeline_main.pl it should generate the following error message:

Uncaught exception from user code:

Sorry if we have a misunderstanding here, but when I wrote in my last response

Quote

please post a minimal version of the program

I did not mean a 60KB tar file. Is it really true that you can't reduce your program further to exhibit this error?

rovf,

FYI, this is a cross posted question.
