What if you do a custom manager class ?
I posted some code to the list a while back...
it overwrote the manager class, and calling the regular get_objects
()... but returing a ref to a blessed array instead of a normal array.
the blessed array had sort and other methods on it...
so the code to interact would be:
my $names= myapp::names::manager->load_names();
foreach my $name ( @{$names->blessed_class_sort_method() } )
{
#do something.
}
