Thanks, Scott. Unfortunately, that might make setting the $element  
variable too the current element by display_element() tricky.  
Currently, it'd done like this:

     $php->eval(q/function setBric($key, $var) {
         global $BRIC;
         $BRIC[$key] = $var;
     }/);

     $php->setBric(element => $elem);

I'm not sure how this could be done to set the global $element  
variable instead of $BRIC['element']. George, is this possible? Could  
you perhaps add a set_global method to PHP::Interpreter to simplify  
this sort of thing?

Thanks,

David
