OK, I think I'm probably handling this properly then, after all. In a Registry script, I typically tie the hash to a package global, and pass a reference to that hash to any routines in my library modules. At the end of the script, the hash is untied and the package global undefed. Many thanks, Andrew. -- perl -MLWP::Simple -e 'getprint("http://www.article7.co.uk/res/japh.txt");'
