When looking through some code I took over, I came across this line:

 my @files = My::Module::DB::raw_info->search_like(customer_handle => $config->{client}, feed => $config->{site}, arrival =>"$date")

I know that this returns an array from a package called My::Module::DB::raw_info.

What I’m not sure of (and I am just learning OOP), is what ->search_like refers to.

I didn’t see that as a variable or as a subroutine in My::Module::DB::raw_info

Any hints would be appreciated. I’m only beginning to learn this stuff. It’s like bathing in fire. (I know I’ll be happier later though) Yikes!

    The likely cause of your conundrum is that My::Module::DB extends some other class. Look for a block along the lines of

    use parent Some::Module;

    or

    BEGIN { extends Some::Module }

    near the top of My/Module/DB.pm

    Edit: As some commenters are helpfully pointing out below, there are a number of ways to subclass a Perl class, but these are probably the most common. (Maybe.)
