I've come to this discussion late, so if you've already discussed this, feel free to point me at the archives. Blessing scalars instead of hashrefs does save memory, but it does mean that accessing x and y coordinates on an SDL::Rect has to do a method call and an XSUB call. If these variables were stored in the blessed hash (or an array, to save a bit more memory), we could do away with the XSUB call. This only applies to a couple of objects -- colors, rects, and some surfaces. Maybe it's ultimately not the best idea, but it sticks out in my mind as something to consider. -- c
