Yup. Personally I use all three techniques mentioned in this thread (AUTOLOAD; auto-creating the package functions in BEGIN; importing certain functions/methods using another module) and each has its own advantages depending on the needs. I also agree with Yuval that the use of AUTOLOAD may be limited to the cases when coding the dispatcher can't be avoided. It is just that there are more such cases than he seems to suggest. See my other message. :) Regards, Mikhael. -- perl -e 'print+chr(64+hex)for+split//,d9b815c07f9b8d1e' _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
