Re^2: Hierarchial data structures

I think that year, latitude, and longitude would wind up being parameters of the local coordinate system, hence either free variables or getters/setters. ;-)

My comments were somewhat tongue in cheek , but I would love to see an example of what you mean? There would still need to be storage to hold whatever value are associated with each time/lat/long combination, and Perl's object system seems particularly inadaquate for dealing with this kind of aggregate data. Both Javascript and VB (from what little I know of it), seem to have a consistant syntax for this kind of thing, but perl's is particularly clumsy. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
