We could let classes be first-class >objects, eh? That's why there were three options. :) Pick one and toss either some speed or some memory. Personally, the combination per-object .ISA property and per-class @ISA (or just give the class its own property hash) seems the most perlish. It's got the least size cost, but it's both the most expensive in terms of worst-case time and complexity. Whatever get's mandated is fine by me. I don't do any of that newfangled OO stuff anyway. :) Dan --------------------------------------"it's like this"------------------- Dan Sugalski even samurai [EMAIL PROTECTED] have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk
