If <tt>$self->things</tt> is an array ref, you just need to
change your loop:
<code>
foreach (@{$self->things}){...}
</code>
The <tt>@{}</tt> will dereference your <tt>things</tt> array
and make <tt>$_</tt> be each item. So, if <tt>$self->things</tt> is an array of names, you will replace XXXXX with <tt>$_</tt>.
<p>
Does this address the problem?
