if i make a singleton object, and it returns a reference to a global variable within it- that can be changed without using the object's methods... is it defeating the whole purpose of using poop ?

i just started playing with poop. and it's kind of weird for me. grandfather sugested i use it in my quest of having global vars in a project- but i wanted to uhm.. not be too messy with the symbol tables, and i read that globals are bad juju.

i have this hash %FRIDGE and it has stuff in it, i want to put and take stuff out of it, and any module code that uses House/Kitchen/Fridge.pm to use the same fridge and see the same data that other code may have modified.

there are lots of ways code may want to take a banana out of the fridge, and i want to allow other people to easily implent ways of putting stuff in
