yes. seems everything is working most excellently. i have no clue how to thank you enough! so, i extend glorious amounts of thanks to you, and everyone else who replied - it's been a giant help. i even book marked that ebook that was linked to by another monk.

the module Pm::Bc_chef doesn't like having use Pm::User; in it. Well, it actually causes Pm::User to throw the "subroutine not defined" error message (because use Pm::Bc_chef; is in the module Pm::User. so, if chef needs to refer to a user module subroutine, i can't put use Pm::User; in Bc_chef.pm. baffling, but it's working.

so grateful

Btw - is my coding awful? i've always wondered, and hoped you folks might be willing to grade it without killing my itty bitty ego too much... ;) is there more of my code you would like to see? i can let you peek under the hood, so to speak, to get a better feel for how i go about doing things. i'd really like some constructive input on it, too....i know it's way off topic here, so perhaps PM me...I'll be on and off fairly often, doing my (re)search(es).
