"A great bonus"? Easy things should be easy. You shouldn't need "syntactic salt" to prevent yourself from writing bad code. You should avoid writing bad code because it's bad. I could go on and on about why inside out objects are worthless, but it's not worth the effort. Anyone that cares already knows :) Fortunately, it's easy to remove all that brain damage anyway: http://search.cpan.org/~swalters/Acme-RightSideOutObject-0.01/lib/Acme/RightSideOutObject.pm Regards, Jonathan Rockway -- print just => another => perl => hacker => if $,=$"
