I guess the question I should ask is: Why NOT return the newly created objects?
I just like to know the reasoning before I change the API :) The code examples are exactly what I was looking for, thanks. The only thing I remain unsure of is the scalar context return value. I don't like it returning the number of items unless there's a good reason for it. It seems like that info is already available elsewhere. The other alternatives are: * Return a reference to an array of added objects * Return the first added object. Hm, I'm not sure I like those much either. What I'm worried about is this: $widget = $o->add_widgets($some_widget); The only way that works is if add_widgets() returns the first added object when called in scalar context. But that's a pretty odd behavior. Opinions? -John ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
