Thanks for the insight, and for the suggestion on 2-arg bless. I raised a few eyebrows by suggesting an OOP approach, and I do understand the reluctance for such a trivial situation. My thought was to avoid polluting namespaces with a function that had such a generic name. But the OP would have options: One, don't export, and do use the fully qualified name. Two, do export, but make it optional to do so. Three, offer both an OO interface and an optional export list. That's probably best. To your point, it doesn't make a lot of sense with just one function, but as functionality gets added, it starts making more sense.

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).
