Wim, It may be possible with more complex coding but the idea is transparent abstraction layer here to make things behave just like calling a regular subroutine with a return statement at the end. I'm hoping to hear from Gerald on the possibility of implementing this into Embperl. It would be a serious improvment in the way we can make web sites where we don't have to spend as much time thinking about the problem and more time thinking in terms of the solution. That's the promise of object oriented programming! :-)
