anazawa has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

I want to write a module which provides users both of functional interface and object-oriented one.
# OO interface use Foo; my $o = Foo->new(); $o->method1(); $o->method2(); # Functional interface use Foo qw(method1_foo method2_foo); method1_foo(); method2_foo();
To implement above features, I wrote the following code:
# Foo.pm package Foo; use Exporter 'import'; our @EXPORT_OK = qw(method1_foo method2_foo); sub new { return Foo::Object->new( method1 => sub { shift; method1_foo(@_) }, method2 => sub { shift; method2_foo(@_) }, ); } sub method1_foo { # do method1 } sub method2_foo { # do method2 } package Foo::Object; sub new { my ( $class, %method ) = @_; # adds methods while ( my ( $method, $code_ref ) = each %method ) { next if ref $code_ref ne 'CODE'; my $slot = __PACKAGE__ . "::$method"; { no strict 'refs'; *$slot = $code_ref; } } return bless \do { my $anon_scalar }, $class; } 1;
I'm afraid that my way seems bad practice. I referred to CPAN modules like Object::Prototype. In this case, I think it's not appropriate to use this module. (I can't explain why not appropriate)

Although there are many ways to implement above features, it's difficult to choose one of them. Help me, Monks!
