How would I go about creating a module that uses both OO and functional interfaces?
I tend to supply named arguments, and I get an error warning that there is an odd number of arguments in a hash assignment if I use a subroutine expecting $self as it's first argument.
I wouldn't think checking that the first argument is a reference is a solution - making pass-by-reference awkward is a Bad Thing :)
Below is a sample of _rough_ code that will only work as OO - how can it be transformed to work as a functional or OO module (like CGI.pm, for example - which I can't figure out :-) ).
package Foo;
# use Modules;
# set up @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK etc for functional interface
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = {};
bless ($self, $class);
}
sub print_args {
my $self = shift;
my %args = @_;
print $args{'foo'}, $args{'bar'}, "\n";
}
package Bar;
$obj = Foo->new();
$obj->Foo::print_args(foo => "Perl", bar => "Monks");
exit;
Cheers.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
