Greetings all:

The first major project I developed I resisted the encouragement, of a far more seasoned coder who was contributing to that project, that we break out our work into multiple files with distinct functions. The result is a challenging to maintain 12k line script of which only 2-5k lines are actually serving us well, but that is another story. The line I ran on him at the time was that I wanted our work to be easy to install (which I thought meant putting everything in a single file).

Now that I've made a shift from trying to be a manager who thought he knew how to code, to being a coder learning his craft, I'm ready to read how some of the masters have done it.

The real world needs of my current project suggest the following organization:

MyModule
MyModule::Config
MyModule::DB

MyModule::AdminFunctions
MyModule::AdminFunctions::ConfigureThis
MyModule::AdminFunctions::ConfigureThat

MyModule::UserFunctions
MyModule::UserFunctions::ThisTool
MyModule::UserFunctions::ThatTool

MyModule::WWW::Admin
MyModule::WWW::Users

But I'd like to read some working code which folks feel is well organized so I can get a better sense of how inheritance works and how methods spread through a hierarchy of modules in a distributions are used by one another and accessed.

This is a request for folks to recommend what you believe to be __well__organized__ code, your own or that of others. Your recommendations are appreciated.
