Yep, that works, thanks muchly!
I'm still slightly puzzled, although since I have a workaround this is
mostly out of curiosity! ;-) Since I haven't kept a reference to the
watchers, I can't see that I could call the ->again method on them to
re-trigger them anyway (at least, without calling all_watchers and
breaking it down by desc/type/etc). Is this Just How It Is, Son, or am I
missing a trick which having them stay in alive like this would allow?
(Zefram, I'm afraid I can't answer your question in return ;-)
Cheers,
Andy
