The tree structure is not an object itself, but is emergent from the linkages you create between nodes. No node can be its own mother, or its mother's mother, etc. A node can appear in only one tree, and only once in that tree. B-Trees are a very special case of the above kinds of trees, and are best treated with their own class.
POD is readable with the 'perldoc' utility.
