I enjoyed the controversy that helped give birth to this fine bit of kit - well done for showing him the door in a way that does credit to the community. I just wanted to suggest proper names for your vars. I quite often use proper names for variables in development - I find them euphonious and easy to remember. @bob = ($sally,$eric,$tarquin). Or even get the module to tell the user how many var names it needs, so he/she can input his/her own list of memorable phonemes. Or whatever - you've probably had enough of it!
