Re: setting default behavior

[Demian Riccardi]

I think I figured out something (pasted below) that should be close enough
for now.

I push ifoo into ibar and created a handle, allowed default setting of bars
inside Bar, and set up a current bar (cbar) method to get the behavior I'm
looking for.

for setting first entry at object construction:
my $a = Foo->new( foos=> Bar->new( bars=>[[0,0,0]] ) );

which is about as ugly as I am!

let me know if there are cleverer ways to do this.

Thanks
