Thank you, that fixed the issue completely, I assume because an entirely new sub is being returned each time? I guess that makes sense.

Thanks for the caching as well. A definite plus, although I'll probably adjust the subroutine database, adding a cache flag so that I can enable caching at the subroutine level. I just recently made it through Higher Order Perl, and I seem to recall there are times when caching is not in order.

Problem solved. Thanks!

Next item on the agenda. Filing a bug report. I'm using ActiveState on an XP box. Do I file the bug report with ActiveState, on CPAN, or both? I've never found a bug before, so never filed a bug report. How does one go about doing this?

P.S. Also appreciated some of the argument checking idioms. Haven't seen those before. They're very nice. Always looking for a step forward, and those will help me write better code in the future.
