This is how you make objects in Perl. The bless function adds some meta data to the variable that is blessed telling it that it is now of class $class. You will usually see this at the end of functions named new in an OO module. You may want to read the perldocs perlboot, perltoot, perltooc, and perlbot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
