make an alias to function

Hi,

I have a module, and I wanted to make an alias with a function in that module.

package abc;

{ # make an alias to another function
   no strict 'refs';
   *{__PACKAGE__::init_squid_for_reverseproxy} = \&init_reverseproxy;
}

But this won't work  when calling it:

my $obj = abc->new;
$obj->init_squid_for_reverseproxy;

The error says:
Can't locate object method "init_squid_for_reverseproxy" via package "abc" .

Why?


OK I simply updated the alias definition to:
*init_squid_for_reverseproxy = \&init_reverseproxy;

This works as I want. Is this the suitable one?

Thanks.
