I have two reservations: 1) Containment of the number of modules. 2) Good practice would define the constants used as indices in the same namespace as the array that uses those indices (main), not in another module. However, I keep having the same experience with Modula-2 -- end up creating a separate module with constants/structures/etc. common to the other compilation units and have all the other modules import it. Thanks for the references. I may go this direction. --Neil _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
