I'm so sorry for the confusion I created with the way I labled my debugging scripts!

While I am using mod perl and the script interfaces several home grown object packages, the fact is that the References in this snippent are read by me as follows:

ChangeAdm::Review::Requestor = $Requestor
ChangeAdm = Current Script/package
Review = Current Subroutine
Requestor = The variable I'm debugging.

I hadn't considered the confusion that might have created.

my apologies.
