Yes StevieB I think you have hit the nail on the head. I do understand data types enough to know what you are talking about and yes, I do need the one more simple tutuorial to 'get' the accessing of referenced data tyes. probably a few more.

In some live code I am continually updating I have been getting confused a lot around the use of the dereferencing symbol '->' especially as it seems to have many uses between hashes and subs in regards to methods and classes.

There was a brief discussion about the importer being still broken, and I don't know but maybe this is why I am able to call methods as classes when i shouldn't or vice-versa or something if that is what im doing. Basically if i hack it and it works im good, but I kind of expect the main functionalities of inheritance to be right firstly. hmmm. of course i know not what im talking about here. and secondly to 'fix' that now will break pretty much all of cpan?

some perl teachings/implementations seem to contradict how you are 'allowed' to import and/or call methods/classes from modules. For example - iirc, i should say use cgi qw/:comment/ but because i have declared the single import that should define all other methods as not imported. And that I should then only be able to access object classes using class calls and not method calls etc......

So yeah! Can't wait for the objects tuts. Thanks Greatly, and please continue.
