Book selling millions? Such faith! ;-)

Work has put me in a position that if I want to get ahead I need
to get another degree. So I'm taking 2 classes every 16 weeks (or
so). I'm also on another project which seems to devour all my spare
time. At that to work, home and family and time is at a premium.
I haven't been able to resolve the X10/Insteon problem that haunts
my home system. I believe it to be related to my Oulette X10
thermostat for my electric base board heater. It has been working
a while. I want to replace it, one more thing for the list.

What I do need is a good example of a new class. The problem is not
so much with the Insteon as it it with the USB. We have no 'Serial'
class for USB and the Serial class seems to get quite upset at my
modifications. It could be that I just don't understand the object
methods and inheritance in Perl (I'm not a real programmer). To
make matters more complicated I really should be using the libusb
interface instead of my USB drivers which needs a class of it's
own.
