hello all,

the point to my last question regarding accessing the text of an icon was to find out about HOW perl sets up the relationship between icons.

for example: x = 1;

seems simple enough, but the relationship may be described as:

entity relation entity

looks like three thingies. but, there are actually 5 thingies...within the spaces between each the entity and relation is "something" that does the binding. i'm looking for that "something".

why? the main reason behind this is that we can use this stuff as a model for programming objects...emulate that binding in the "how" during the design phase. it'll also help us think about what perl is doing in the background and any useful side effects.

i've started my research with chapter 3, Advanced Perl Programming and am wading through it. i really like the notion of truly lexical entities.

anyone have some insight into this stuff?

thanks,

moo
