I just left an example in a previous message on this topic that shows that you can also (with limitations) use indirection to pass parameters (or add optional parameters) to function and subroutine references in the place of a method attribute. I have been using an object-like representation for quite a while now in local variables for data records in the data viewer included with M2Web. This includes a capability to download Fileman based data and meta-data to a web browser in JSON or XML format. Additionally, Steve Zeck and I will be working with his Db-GTM Perl module to take the ideas out to Perl. --------------------------------------- Jim Self Systems Architect, Lead Developer VMTH Computer Services, UC Davis (http://www.vmth.ucdavis.edu/us/jaself) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Hardhats-members mailing list Hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
