Peter and Jenda,
Thank you both for your information and pointers, I appreciated them. I actually ended up doing something slightly different; I wanted to make method calls use identical syntax, whether they were going to the APC::Event or the Tie::DBI, so what I ended up doing was giving the APC::Event a "has-a" relationship with the Tie::DBI, and then delegating (through AUTOLOAD) calls to the Tie::DBI. It ended up working great! Dave Storrs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
