•Re: Re: Re: How can I unbless an object?

Ahh, yes. Since I'm so enamoured with Template, it's hard to scream "too much DWIMmery" there. But in this sense, yes, there's a mismatch between that DWIMish design, and what you actually want to hand to it.

Do you really need two-way communication? Can you not just hand it a copy?

If you do need two-way communication, perhaps you could hand it a tie'd hash reference, and then map that back to your object.

I don't need 2-way communication, so a copy works fine and is conceptually cleaner. But it seems wasteful, since handing off the object to the TT2 process method is the very last thing done with the copy and the original object before they both go out of scope and disappear.	[reply]

Ahh, then bless it into a bogus class without an autoload, and you should be fine. `bless $myhash, "bogus".time; # grin` [download] -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker	[reply] [d/l]
