That's what Perl 5 does, FWIW. But you're caching scheme seems way too complicated to me. In Perl 5, you cache the method simply by making it look like it's a member of the current class. There's very little extra mechanism. You just have to know which methods are the "fake" ones you can blow away. Admittedly MMD complicates things, but maybe that's a separate cache. Larry
