Hmm, okay, this is starting to make a little more sense to me, 
though it's still quite confusing :)

I'd settle for better documented at this point :)

What I want to do is so trivial, but it's taken me all day to figure 
out the simplest things.  You'd think that those who wrote a tool to 
which converts documents would themselves document :)

The OO in perl was an after-thought and kind of grafted on.  I don't 
know much about OOP other than what I've picked up from  perl, but 
I've seldom had a need for something so complex.  Most of the code I 
write is small and straight-forward.  I haven't found a need for OOP 
yet.  Actually, this is really the first thing I've seen that even 
requires dynamic function evaluation.

It's quite a neat approach, but boy can it be confusing :)

Now, if I could only figure out where they're generating that doggone 
<HR> between the title area and the TOC and move it to the nav panel 
:)
