If you like > named keys, an OrderedHash would provide both named and indexed access. How does an OrderedHash cross the NCI boundary? That is, I know how a ManagedStruct or UnmanagedStruct converts to something the wrapped library can understand -- the PMC_data() macro makes sense. How does it work for an OrderedHash? I looked at this and wondered where to hang the mapping of names to array indices. The data member of the PMC looks full up. My other idea was to wrap the struct in an object and write methods that set the appropriate array members, but there's still NCI to consider. Of course, I could be missing something extremely simple, but if no one ever asks.... -- c
