Subject:

Having to pass ref to every call

Why do I have to pass $ref to *each* call: my $uparse = new URI::ParseSearchString(); my $ref = 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=a+simple+test&btnG=Google+Search'; my $query_terms = $uparse->se_term( $ref ); my $canonical = $uparse->se_name( $ref ); my $hostname = $uparse->se_host( $ref ); It would be far neater to do this: my $uparse = URI::ParseSearchString->new(ref => 'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=a+simple+test&btnG=Google+Search'); my $query_terms = $uparse->se_term(); my $canonical = $uparse->se_name(); my $hostname = $uparse->se_host();

I see your point but on the other hand, surely instantiating a new object for every query string you have is not the ideal case either :-) On Fri Oct 21 11:04:55 2011, njh@bandsman.co.uk wrote: Show quoted text

If it’s not really object-oriented then, why don’t you provide exportable functions? Show quoted text
