Fair enough. That is clever module design. I suspect that it's also common module design, but it's not something that a beginner, as the poster indicated s/he was, would think about. In addition, it's listed among the common mistakes someone from C++ would make coming to PERL(!). It's certainly not what I thought about when I first started working on modules.
And as long as you understood what I was talking about, it could've been peRl, Per1, or PerL. *grins* I don't want to start a flamewar, but that did seem a little nitpicky.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
