Since you

you'll find that few people here are inclined to help you.
(You can always read about soft references in "perldoc perlref".)
If soft references were so evil as you claim, probably they would
not be a part of Perl to begin with... imho of course.
Actually, I didn't say anything about their degree of evilness. Others
can elaborate on that much better than I would be able to.
I just said that soft references
1) are considered something that typically should be avoided,
2) can almost always be easily replaced with a solution involving a
hash, and
3) you did not show why there would be a need to use soft references
in this case.
Seems as if Jenda has convinced you now, btw.
