makes 100 % perfect sense. my code is not OO, though - except for when i use the core modules perl comes with (like CGI and others)...but, does your example work in my case? should i be making my modules generate objects, instead of how i have it setup (i posted code in another reply to my main post)? sounds like a major overhaul if so. this project needs completion. I'm a one man band, and it's been in dev. for 3yrs now (two drafts, and one "final" version)... clearly i'm new at this perlmonks.org site, so if i'm doing things that don't adhere to what you would rather see, allow me to apologize. i'll figure it out as i go. like i said, as a one man band, i feel like i'm the only employee for a large hotel - i gotta be everything. so many hats, it's been a very tough learning curve.
