I find the best approach is to find the person who sneaked it into the code and administer friendly beatings until it disappears. ref breaks polymorphism. That's a no-no.

You mean like HTML::Template? My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]

Yep. If a properly-implemented proxied or tied object won't make it through the ref call correctly, it's the use of ref that's wrong.	[reply]
