The Bourne shell family has the very similar 'elif'

Hi!
At run time I want my code to choose which class to use and create an
object of that class.
For instance:
my $class=shift;
use $class;
my $object=new $class(shift, shift);
The above code doesn't work of course, but is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Ole Christian Eidheim

If you settle for require() instead of use, and direct method notation
instead of indirect, you can do:
require $class;
# $class->import; # probably not needed in your case
my $object = $class->new(@args);

Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
| NOTE: The mail to news gateway, and thus the ability to submit articles
| through this service to the newsgroup, has been removed. I do not have
| time to individually vet each article to make sure that someone isn't
| abusing the service, and I no longer have any desire to waste my time
| dealing with the campus admins when some fool complains to them about an
| article that has come through the gateway instead of complaining
| to the source.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
