class Date is Really::Long::Package::Name::Ugh; class DateManipulator; our Date $date2manip; ....date manip methods here... An external class is thus unable to do: $DateManipulator::date2manip = new Really::Long::Package::Name::Ugh() Is that correct? The above example is somewhat contrived, but I still believe it illustrates a problem which *will* arise in practice. Mike Lambert
