Fooling aside, there is some cool advice here,so I'll add this (possibly redundant) stoopid suggestion:

• If someone else wrote it, you only want to use the subs they mention in the pod. Tinkering with other stuff is not recommended.
• If you wrote it; I advocate using dispatch tables ( a hash of function references ), that way the most you ever have to do is list the keys to the hash containing the functions for that module. There are lotsa reasons for using em.
