Yep, boo is right here. However, I would suggest one additional thing:
# use: warn "object constructed" if $obj = Module::new; $obj->brak() or warn "brak failed: ".$obj->error; # rather than print $obj->method("foo");
because STDERR is unbuffered. I think our own japhy taught me this trick. You can also use:
warn "the blargle flargle, $foo, is very busted!" if $DEBUG;
so that when you are done with major development you can just set $DEBUG to 0.
