Often you want two APIs, a comprehensive and flexible one,
and an idiomatic DWIM wrapper Blah::Simple.
One way to reality check your design decisions is to compare your API to another API from a different but comparable domain. Another test (that I need) is to return to your design after some months. "What was I thinking?!" is often the result when you lose the blinkers of your original problem. I don't like API designs that second guess you, nor those that strictly follow a non-Perlish design (usually found in library or system wrappers) In reply to Re: "how do you design your APIs?"
