Hi superchromix,

Well, both LIST and HASH were really intended to be "scalar" items. The fact that they are implemented as objects, and that you can have arrays of objects, is just a loophole.

Since you can store arbitrary data inside of a list or hash, and you can have nested lists & hashes, theoretically, you shouldn't need to have an array of them.

But, if you really want to have an array of lists or hashes, then I would recommend using TYPENAME to determine whether you have a LIST/HASH. If TYPENAME returns LIST or HASH, then you have a scalar list/hash. If TYPENAME returns OBJREF, then you *know* that you either have a non-list/non-hash scalar object, or you have an array of objects, each of which could be *any* class (not just list or hash).

Cheers,
Chris
