Then you've missed what a discussion really is. It's not about winning, it's about learning. Sadly you missed that point. > Wake me when you decide to address the substance of my arguments. I have done so. If you don't consider it enough and think that code in a book based on 8+ year old modules is the current state of Perl programming, fine with me. As a final word, I quote from chapter 12.10 of Learning Perl Objects, References, & Modules [1]: "As seen earlier, *the normal means* of using an object-oriented module is to call class methods and then methods against instances resulting from constructors of that class. This means that an OO module *typically exports nothing*, ..." Which is in general recommended as the book one has to read after Learning Perl (IIRC it will be renamed in a next edition to reflect this). -- John MexIT: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/ personal page: http://johnbokma.com/ Experienced programmer available: http://castleamber.com/ Happy Customers: http://castleamber.com/testimonials.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
