Hi! I'm having a hard time refactoring some modules which have cyclical dependencies. Example: 
package Aa;
use Bb;
my $object = Bb->new();

[download]
and 
package Bb;
use Aa;
my $object = Aa->new();

[download]
Obviously, bad arhitecture, but a lot of other things depend on these, so I wasn't sure how can I solve these things. I know this is not entirely related to Perl, it has more to do with programming theory, but I thought Perl has some specific things regarding this, like how could I use some design pattern, if there is one for these situations. There are some other kinds of cyclical dependencies too, like 
package Aa;
use Bb;
my $result = Bb::some_function_which_does_not_create_object();

[download]
and 
package Bb;
use Aa;
my $object = Aa::some_function_which_does_not_create_object();

[download]
These can be broken sometimes by taking out one modules functionality and putting it into another module (class) and then each of the 2 modules can use this new one, breaking the cycle, but this solution is not working all the times either. Could any one help me towards this? Thanks in advance, faceless.
