Then, like DBI, CAD::Drawing::IO can be setup to load the appropriate implementation module (no groveling in @INC, that's what require is for), instantiate an object, and then call the appropriate methods on that object. Your main module (IO.pm) shouldn't need to have knowledge of the various IO::* modules. Basically, there are save() and load() functions in IO.pm which allow an explicit type argument or the type can be derived from the file extension. At this point, IO.pm should load the right module with require, and then defer to that module's methods to do the right thing for loading, saving, etc. (darren) -- You win again, gravity! pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

}
else {
plan tests = 1;
