Hi Rolf,

thank you for the fast reply.

Is there an advantage in a classic package, one package per file?

If you're posting example code, it's useful for everything to be in one self-contained example file, so that people can just copy and paste it into their editor and run it, rather than them having to create a directory called `Foo` and make a file in there called `Bar.pm` and paste some code in there, and then create another folder called `Boo` and make a file in there called `Far.pm` and paste more code in there, and then... `use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That's a very good argument. I haven't thought about that. But this is the "More-than-one-package-per-file"-case. I was wondering if there is a reason to do so in a package per file. Regards McA	[reply]

I was wondering if there is a reason to do so in a package per file. Probably obedience to some style guide :) Or proper laziness -- if copy/paste works, why edit to unindent...	[reply]

I use this form in my .t files when I need a quick class mock-up: it stands out more.	[reply]
