Nice rewrites. Very nice use of for. I think I should that construction a much more many times in my code!!

The second one, with the can, requires some more study from my side. Will dive into those perldocs! Or maybe you mean to use a real method instead of can? I wouldn't think that will work, as I plan to use this for more classes. Update: immediately found can in perlobj. It's all clear now.

Thanks again,

Jeroen
