I'm doing oo. And embracing the need for consistency accross interfaces. get_x() and set_x() are great consistent ways of naming methods to help maintain integrity of your encapsulation.

add_data(), get_data() and set_data() - where "data" is user, name, date, page, price, whatever.

I am trying to come up with a good general practice to name methods that return data prepped for HTML::Template. For example, a method that returns an array ref of users might be get_users_array() or simply get_users().

What would be a good genral way to distinguish methods that return data for HTML::Template?

• get_users_prepped_for_html_template() ? That's kind of lonnnnnng.
• get_users_pfht() ? That's kind of vague, I don't like garble - methods should be named descriptively (some of us think so).
• ghet_users() and thus ghet_feedback(), ghet_navigation() ?

I want to keep using this prepend, postpend, description- for methods accross all modules I make which are intended for possible use with HTML::Template. Any ideas? What would be good?
