Ahh, posting without reading the source :(
I see that notes() just puts the value into a multi-dimensional hash.
sub notes {
my $self = shift;
my $key = shift;
@_ and $self->{_notes}->{$key} = shift;
#warn Data::Dumper->Dump([\$self->{_notes}], [qw(notes)]);
$self->{_notes}->{$key};
}
It seems that notes() doesn't gain you much over using a variable directly
or am I missing something?

Do they?
