My bible!, or one of them anyway, Great inspiration for my P module or Types::Core, maybe even Xporter in CPAN. Some invaluable modules, though needing a bit of update. someday, at some point. But HoP...any particular chapter or page? I only have a paper copy, no majorly helpful, open electronic form.

Don't even find 'Class Factory' in its Index, so maybe under a different conceptual idea or term?

Maybe it's not a good book for this, as I might never get the program working -- but might spend another few months re-factor/re-writing it again :^)

Yeah, since it's a rolling, release, I could express it as some type of infinite series, though am not sure what formula I could apply to the input to get useful output...

Given the discrete inputs by various authors for package releases, I'd have to allow for a callback at each stepping of the release to allow for new output. Certainly no lossy algorithm would work -- it would just get everyone p'd off at me in exponential time. Must be in the nature of linux distros...*sigh* Maybe I'll try a different part of book for inspiration, though I'm not sure how quickly such an endeavor will result in any convergence to the actual output...

(only 1/2**(# times attempted) for actual applicability).

Maybe I need a better paradigm as I sense only divergence down this route....

I hope someone reading this has a sense of humor or alot more insight!
