Hey,
I want to use a method of an object.
Like $myObject->helloWorld().
However there are a couple of methods so I loop through an array of method names and call the method like this:
my $methodName ="helloWorld";
$myObject->$methodNames;
This works quite nice but some objects don't have all methods.
How can I tell whether $myObject has a method called helloWorld or not?
