BTW, if you happen to know where I can read up about that *{ ... } syntax, please let me know.

Um. I'm not sure that I've ever seen any documentation for that particular construct.

It is alluded to here, though if start here and move forward that might make more sense, but its pretty sparse.

And if you read between the lines of that and the section of perlref on Symbolic References you'll get most of the gist.

I you want my take on explaining it, yell and I'll try to work something up tomorrow.
