Well, it does both :) the pad (lexpad, lexical pad) is attached to the CV ( Code Value, subroutine ), each scope creates a new pad ... maybe that is not gutsy enough, but http://search.cpan.org/dist/illguts/index.html elaborates more on the structure of the guts -- or were you looking for something different?

Thanks. That version has moved on considerably to the version I have had bookmarked;

It is still a little light on words, but the picture's probably worth its thousand.

I guess I need to look again at B & PadWalker. I've steadfastly refused to look at these seriously till now.

I did take a peek under their bonnets and was discretely valorous in my conclusion that I didn't need to know. I guess that changed :(
