follow up... sorry didn't finish there and hit submit rather than preview. DOH! Ok, the problem I run into is scoping. If i refrence this specialty function like 
     $cache->AddSpecialty(myAlias => \&myFunc);
Then inside the object store the refrence in a hash like this: 
     package RadCache;
     my %props = { SPECIALTY => {} };
     
     sub new {
          my $type = shift;
          my $self = {%props};
          return bless $self;
     }
So that the AddSpecialty function just puts a new entry in 
%{$self->{SPECIALTY}}
. But, when in the Build function, I want to call that specialty function, therein lies the problem. Is it solveable using an anonymous sub and passing that instead of a refrence to an already defined subroutine? Thanks for any help This has been R A D...
