If on the other hand one is already into the evil art of writing perl modules - then clearly one already groks the idea of using package declarations inside of a package so as to sub class. If You are cutting perl modules and do not grok packages - one really should seek therapy for this problem. ciao drieux --- remember boys and girls, all 'rules of thumb' come with four fingers, a palm and several class extensions - while on the other hand.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
