++! I'm definately going to play with all your suggestions, with the exception of the passing of the arguments. In this case the only purpose the class serves is to simplify coding with dice As int(rand($num)) is so much more CPU efficient. In otherwords the main audience for the class is a casual Perl user that wants to whip out a quick application that requires manipulating many sets of Dice. The 3d6 method of labeling Dice sets is the most common nomenclature, so I'm trying to make the object as 'natural' to use as possible.

This brings about a deeper question where should efficiency end and ease of use begin? Ahh so much to ponder :)

Thanks again, I should have Dice::Dice updated later.
