That's nice, but it's just not adequate for what I need to do. Both Python and perl are able to remove arbitrary symbols out of their namespaces for capabilities-based sandbox. My script needs to open a db handle, then shut down the ability for db handles to be opened, passing back the one that was opened. Same may go for filehandles, or any other resource I can't simply toss around using a virtual(). It's not like a user can actually gain privileges they're not supposed to by deleting functionality. I realize that my multi-user setup is somewhat unique, but when is a single user going to call our theoretical delfunction() and then later surprise himself? People with that kind of attention span problem can't really be helped by any amount of code :) chuck "ooh, shiny!" adams
