I think I'm gaining some understanding...

Your second code example works because the anonymous subs are within the same lexical scope; therefore, there is no need to store the variables they work with separately (in $self, like I did). Correct? I like that.

The last block of code looks similar to mine, one of the differences being that you only call $self->filter($r) within the loop. Wouldn't the code within filter() be same difference to what I'm doing? That is, I still need an increment and a hashing, so filer() would contain ++$self->{count}; and so forth?

I believe I'm lost somewhere in between "This is only natural inside a single object, however your callbacks are all external to your object, so that doesn't make a bunch of sense to me." and "As in your filter object. Thus it makes perfect sense to modify object variables inside object methods, so you can do whatever you want with it." The latter statement says to me: "There are no closures (external thingies) involved, therefore everything happens within your methods," which makes me think "Well then, how do i keep this dynamic? Each filtering process is going to be 80% common, but there is some variation."

Thanks for your time.

P.S. I am reading through perltoot, perlobj, a few tutorials on this site, and the llama.
