That's kinda what I thought. Thanks for being candid.

So long as you url-encode your bits before (not after as I accidentally typed above), you interpolate them, pretty much all the complex OO buys you is overhead, because that's pretty much all it is doing under the covers.

Of course, it may, (probably will be), the case that you can live with the overhead, and even that you like the interface, in which case use the module. But know why you're doing so. What it buys you. And what it doesn't.
