Lets say I have two modules called Pileofrogs::Frob and Pileofrogs::Util. I realize that the subrutine Pileofrogs::Frob::frob would really be better as Pileofrogs::Util::frob.

My inclination is to ..

1. Add frob to Pileofrogs::Util
2. Edit what scripts I can to use Pileofrogs::Util rather than Pileofrogs::Frob.
3. Make Pileofrogs::Frob load frob from Pileofrogs::Util so any scripts that depend on frob don't break if I forgot to update them to use Pileofrogs::Util.

So, two questions:

1. Am I crazy?
2. How would I go about making Pileofrogs::Frob transparently hand me Pileofrogs::Util::frob when I ask for Pileofrogs::Frob::frob?

Thanks! I hope my question makes more sense than I fear it does....

--Pileofrogs

Update: Ooh, if I were really cool, I could even make Pileofrogs::Frob recommend using Pileofrogs::Util in some nice way when someone calls Pileofrogs::Frob::frob...
