It is now the user's responsibility to use the right child module for what they are doing.

Unless, of course, the right module needs to be determined at run time :-)

Update: I guess sometimes its just preference between doing this:

my $package = "Parent::Package::".$subpackage;
$package->method;

# And this:
Parent::Package->method($subpackage);

I see the reasoning of doing it the first way, but sometimes I just prefer to do it the second way. I started allowing it with Parse::FixedLength, and I'm not the only one, as AnyData also does that. One of the wonders (or drawbacks, depending on who you ask) of Perl is that its only as OO as you want it to be :)
