but when people are paying me (...), I prefer not to argue.

Very good point :)

I just took inspiration from it, to do my own thing.

That's why I posted it here instead of CPAN. This is a pattern you can hack to fit your own needs. And IMHO, this is something that needs to be copied and pasted. Code re-use is fine, but not when the 3-line alternative provides all hackability one could ever wish for :)

Your code, on the other hand, would be a very nice addition to CPAN. Please consider making it a public module.
