Dear Shlomi,

 

As a kind of answer to this question of yours:

 

> *  In examples, please use the simplest code possible. Don't force the

Do you mean string-eval or block-eval?

 

I can only say that I gave this "eval" example as _my own_ least understood
part of Perl. (And I never attempted writing an OO packages, so I am sure
there are even more complex issues waiting for me. :-(). So the short answer
to your question is "I didn't know what I meant.!"

 

Thanks again Shlomi! You are a great help for me and I am sure to the rest
of the community out there too.

 

Meir
