in reply to OO semantics quandary

In my opinion it depends on how related the modules are and how they are 'use'd. When you say 'thingy', I assume you mean module/object. If Foo::Bar uses uses Quux for implementing certain methods Foo::Bar without any inheritance, then you could have Foo::Bar::Quux.

However, if Foo::Bar are related as in they both apply to Foo but not directly to each other, they I would suggest using Foo::Quux. (OT: anyone know how to pronounce quux?)

Foo::Bar new(-Quux): I don't like this because it appears that quux is separate from bar and should therefore be in a separate module altogether.

    They are related in that actually both provide a subset of the functionality of figlet(6). I say "thingy" because the second is not an object, but rather a closure.

    Foo::Quux is not an option (Text::Control is both non-sensical, and relatively useless. Quux essentially provides for specifying a series of tr transformations in a non-perl, plain-text manner. See "CONTROL FILES".

    I am still leaning towards Foo::Bar->new(-Quux), since as I said the Current Foo::Bar is really Foo::Bar->new(-Baz), and simply croak-ing on a new with both -Quux and -Baz.

    OT: I pronounce it qu-ucks, like quick ducks without the ick'd. This is in agrrement with The Jargon File, especially given the association with crux.

      OT: anyone know how to pronounce quux?

    I tend to pronounce it "kooks", like the Usenet infestation, but I think "kwooks" is more popular.

      I pronounce it kwuhks; rhyming with bucks rather than books (or pukes). I think that is generally accepted.

      I pronounce "qux" as kuhks and "quuux" as kwew-uks but I think those are both personal variations.

      The Jargon File entry for "quux" claims that it is pronounced /kwuhks/.
