Most of the time I use 'my Dog $spot' is along the lines of: package Dog; sub bark { my Dog $self = shift; print $self->name, " barks!\n"; } package Main; my Dog $spot = Dog::Dalmation->new(name => 'Spot'); $spot->bark; Or what about: my Dog $patches = $dog_pound->get_cute_stray; There's a whole host of occasions when you want 'my Dog $spot' but you *don't* want $spot to be set to Dog->new. -- Piers
