Uhoh ! Except for abstracting the interfaces and splitting up both Life and Girl, I don't see much chance for you. My proposition assumes that `Girl` needs certain aspects of `Life`, which in turn needs certain (other) aspects of `Girl`. So you should create a third package, `Base`, which has all the functions `Girl` needs to work, and then you can have `package Life; @ISA=qw(Girl);` (or the other way around. Yes, this will be complicated and require rethinking of the interfaces and object structure. No, there is no other way (at least I don't see it). Sorry `;)`	[reply]

Call me strange but I think that's beautiful :p I know exactly what that is like. I'll probably get voted down for posting this dumb 'me too' post but I don't care I just had to say it. Thanks for posting that, t0mas. It was really clever and I always appreciate a programming analogy to the facts of life. `72656B636148206C72655020726568746F6E41207473754A`	[reply]
