Hi Randal, I've read the column you mentioned in a previous post, and I see what you mean with the above statement. However, I believe what I am right for the effects I want. my %_BLOCKS is the equivelent of your %REGISTRY, and when a block gets created I add it to %_BLOCKS. However, I want that block to remain after the block that created it has finished - hence keeping it as a strong ref. (think init function which reads track definition from file then exits) I also want to be confident that when I want to delete the block the object is actually deleted, hence weakening ALL other references to it. However, as I said in a response to Rob, provided I don't do sloppy coding the problem should never arise anyway. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
