Thinking about it more, POE::Arguments or POE::Args would be fine if there were only one way to do it. There isn't, though. So: POE::Args::Object (return an object with accessors; what POE::Args does) POE::Args::Named (return a hash of named parameters) POE::Args::Plain (return @_[ARG0..$#_]) and whatever else gets invented. However, I don't think they should all go into the main distribution. In fact, at this time I'm not convinced there's One True Calling Convention that should be blessed with inclusion in the distribution. I've briefly considered the idea of putting them all in the POE distribution, but that's not acceptable. -- Rocco Caputo - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://poe.perl.org/
