Question

I know in php I can do something like this

echo "{$this->method}";

and I swear there was a way to do it in perl

Update:
What I am trying to do is print a scalar that the method returns. I was kind of hoping of doing within the string like in php, just because I’m lazy :P.

Answer 1

Are you just trying to evaluate an arbitrary expression inside a double quoted string? Then maybe you’re thinking of

print "@{[$this->method]}";

There is also a trick to call the method in scalar context, but the syntax is a little less clean.

print "${\($this->method)}";
