Well just use the global ops. global "tcl_globals" = the_hash # store .. pref = global "tcl_globals" # fetch > PerlHash that maps command names to the builtin functions).

Using an object or an hash doesn't differ, you have to store it somewhere (or pass it around). Why not just use the global opcodes? leo
