in thread Whats wrong with symbol refs here?

THanks for the comments.. Your line of thinking is just as mine is. I think it makes things easier to read... I also have more control than AUTOLOAD ... I think, provided you know the syntax, this solution is actually easier to maintain.

Basically, doing this isn't a Bad Thing(tm), just that some people may not understand it. No problem. Thats what the Perl Monks and ORA are for ;-)

    Just make sure that you comment it. Heavily. You're doing something "Weird and Strange"(tm). Don't assume that anyone is as smart as you, or thinks in the crazy ways you do. Always assume that the person after you was told "Here's the Perl manual. Read it, then maintain this code." Be nice to them. :-)
