I'm still trying to figure out why it's carried on this long.
Calling the new module ::Modern and claiming that ::Long is

Amen. Eric, that was really obnoxious. You might have had more luck
convincing people that your approach had some merit if you were less
haughty about it.
Imagine this is Eric's first try at publishing a module. While perhaps
his approach could use honing, perhaps we could make it a little less
of
a smackdown? It would be nice to encourage contribution to the
community.
True, I guess my message was at least as obnoxious. Eric isn't a
newbie author, though, he's pretty experienced and has a few good
modules under his belt. And as I said in my other message, I do
encourage him to go ahead and write the module. It doesn't really
matter how many of us disagree with his design proposal - if it
scratches his itch, it may well scratch others' itches.
