Subject: Re: Need help dynamically creating classes.

Oh my word!  YES, I am interested!!!  I have always wanted
to do this.  I loved WavesWorld and attempted to do the same
thing in Perl, but didn't put enough time into it.
I'm the author of the RenderMan binding for Perl, by the way,
and have now seen the light with Ruby after 10+ years
programming in Perl.

Please keep us (or at least me) posted on your progress, Paul!
Thanks!
