Can you explain a little bit more what you mean by 'delegate' in a Perl sense, because the save() method I am after is, being file/system specific, somewhere in that Class::PObject::Driver::DBM I presume.

I mean that a reference to a driver object is stored within each PObject class's $props->{driver}, and that calling save on an individual object is implemented by making a call to that driver's save method to do the actual work.

The initialization is done in Class::PObject's pobject() method, which also causes your class to inherit from Class::PObject::Template, which is where the main save() method is located; it in turn calls the save() method in Class::PObject::Driver::DBM.

Iyho would I be better _deriving_ a new class...

You've already done that, by declaring that @ISA = ("myStorableBase");.

Are you creating your MyHuman objects correctly, with MyHuman->new()?
