The big hole is that you set @ISA when you create the decorator, but what if someone creates two _different_ decorators? In that case you've just broken the first one you made. Also, we want to be able to use SUPER::foo inside the decorating classes. For example, Josh's DT::Cache will obviously need to call it's parent's new() method. This means that we can't just use multiple inheritance, but instead we need to create an actual chain of inheritance. -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/
