hmm, ok, I'll accept that I'm out of whack here :) but I'm still a bit confused. Test::MockObject is clearly object/instance based. Test::MockObject::Extends is documented to mock either an object or the class as a whole. if that's not the case that is fine (I guess ;), but then I'm very confused what value passing a class name to new() adds - the docs claim that it is for mocking class methods, doesn't it? --Geoff
