Well, i wouldn't say all the preceding examples.
He does use some form of ref($caller) extensively
throughout the book, but not in every example.
And i can admit that "probably better" ain't much of condemnation, but not as much as i can admit that it ain't much of a recomendation either. I see nothing wrong with simpler methods that are less prone to bugs and are more clearly self-documenting. :) Update: i should mention that Class::MethodMaker's new_hash_init specifier makes for a very robust instance constructor. Consider using it if you don't like having to write your own clone method. jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)
