Does anyone darren> know of a reason not to do this? Subclassing DBI is a bit of a mess, because it also returns objects that might also need to be subclassed, and you have to do that carefully. Also, if any of the DBI object's methods want to call methods also defined by a T:P:DBI, it'd be a mess, because they'd have been overridden. Ooops! The existing system is fine... it lets you get at the wrapper object, or the wrapped object. You *might* consider an autoload that does an autodelgate to the wrapped object... that's almost like inheritance, and would have allowed the original poster to get at ".func" properly. -- Randal L.
