in reply to Re^2: Splitting program into modules
in thread Splitting program into modules

I once had to maintain code which had many subs accessing a bunch of global states which where switched by calling an "init()" routine or passed flags.

After long analysis (Freudian yes) I realized that these routines where effectively methods, the states where instance vars and the so called init() routine switched the instances.

Well actually that was only a simplified description of what happened, I don't wanna give you nightmares. :)
