You down with OOP...

[Peter Scott]

Cool.  You need to end the file with the magic

	1;

we discussed.  It is a coincidence that it happens to work without it 
at the moment (and can anyone spot why?)


I've never bothered to do the strict type-checking like you're doing with

         ref($caller) or die "Invoked instance method on a class: $!";

There are modules that automate this and as much additional strictness 
as you want, I believe.  I just don't use them.  Anyone got a favourite 
they'd care to introduce?

Incidentally, how much data do you expect to end up storing in one of 
these objects, and how many instances per execution?
