You are better than me.

Like http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Data::Lazy&mode=module right? :-) The only thing in Defer.pm that I do not have in Data::Lazy is the attribute syntax. Maybe it'd be better to add that to my module instead of uploading a brand new module :-) Patches welcome, otherwise I'll have a look at Defer.pm when I get some free time and steal the attribute stuff from there ... that is if Sam doesn't mind ;-) Probably the second weekend from now.
