True, I agree. I come from a C++ background, so it's not too hard for me, but the rest of the team is having problems with hashes of hashes, let alone trying to work with OO Perl.

Part of the reason for my modules was to simplify access to the data structures so the other admins could leverage the data. (Before, everyone would just create lists in their scripts, and then we'd have to maintain all of the lists in all the scripts, instead of one function in one location.)

It was a big enough fight getting people to realize how important using a module was, so I'm not sure I'm ready for the OO fight. I do agree, though. :)

Thank you again for all your comments. I really appreciate it.
