Re^2: Making a variable in a sub retain its value between calls

Unforuately, a reference to the object must be passed to the function, and the OP explicitely requested that the solution didn't do this. I do like passing a state object as you suggest, though. There's much less hidden mojo that way.

Sorry for this banal reply. The original version of it was completely wrong.

Ah, my bad. I was a little confused what he was getting at. Also was thinking "well you could use a global but that would not be so elegant.." etc. I guess there is a good time to use closures like above. Thanks! Matt	[reply]
