Well, looks like the company I was working for will not release the work I did, so now that I am happily self- employed again I get to start over. That's good though. I am going to focus on implementing a variety of relationships in the one-to-many class, such as containers, unconstrained multiple matches, constrained multiple matches, etc. I get to do it all over the "right way" this time. By the way, don't expect this version to work at all. :-) Mark Hedges 2005-08-12 Object::POOF and all submodules copyright 2005 Mark Hedges, hedges *at> ucsd.edu.
