Unfortunately the two conflict. C, APL, Fortran, and COBOL aren't
particularly object-oriented... Not that I disagree with the idea of a
solid, documented, *designed* API, nor that the perl bits should be
considered magic cookies that should not be twiddled with--I rather like
both. I think, though, that the core interface should be procedural.
