Hi Scott,

I think I understand your point better now. I'm still convinced that it
is possible to do what you have described using EmbperlObject.

Wim,

It may be possible with more complex coding but the idea is 
transparent abstraction layer here to make things behave just like 
calling a regular subroutine with a return statement at the end.  I'm 
hoping to hear from Gerald on the possibility of implementing this 
into Embperl.  It would be a serious improvment in the way we can 
make web sites where we don't have to spend as much time 
thinking about the problem and more time thinking in terms of the 
solution.  That's the promise of object oriented programming! :-)

Cordially,
Scott
