in thread Thorny design problem

How about just having a separate perl script for each company? It seems like the modularized approach isn't really doing all that much except managing a namespace and it adds a lot of complexity for little value that I can see.

I'm glad you brought this up. My main reason for using the module approach was so I could test the various internal functions that support the do_it API function. I find that there's a lot more support available for testing functions if they belong to a loadable module, though, admittedly, this rationale has a tail-wagging-the-dog ring to it.

You can have it both ways. See `brian d foy`'s article 'How a script becomes a module'. Make it a module for testing purposes and a script otherwise. -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.
