Well, if you integrate configuration files into the factory, your code becomes cleaner. Now lets say you stop using IO::Socket::Inet but switch to something else, you don't have to change from using IO::Socket everywhere, just change how the factory works. | [reply] |
It is clean, yes. But, it's not very extensible, configurable, or customizable. It doesn't take advantage of shared snippets to make maintenance easier. That's what most of the responses have been about. Taking it to the next level, if that's what's desirable and desired.
