This is very good! Thanks a lot for your reply. I just realized that each call to setname() reset the $name value causing it to keep only the last one. I didnt know about refaddr by the way. So the code you wrote ties values to a hash with the refaddr as the key. This is very nice but it is not what i would call object orientation really. I have been writing in java for the past few years so this looks to me more like hack than an OO solution. Is this the best way to do what i originally intended to? (i find it a bit hard to fully understand perlboot/toot) Again thanks very much
