One other 'trick' is that the heap can be any type of scalar, so one can use whatever one likes as the heap, such as an arrayref, hashref and even a blessed reference such as an object. PoCo-IRC for instance has the component's object as it's heap. Cheers, -- Chris Williams aka BinGOs PGP ID 0x4658671F http://www.gumbynet.org.uk ==========================
